Rick Pappas on Fstoppers

I'm Rick Pappas. I grew up photographing near Sacramento, California. I photographed popular music acts in the '60's, played music for a living through the '70's, had a career in radio electronics and expatriated to my home in Northern Italy for many years. My wife and I now live close to our beautiful daughter and grandchildren not far from where I grew up. Photography has been a "constant" in my life for almost 6 decades now and I would still be as comfortable with a sheet film camera or in a darkroom as I am now in the digital realm.

Photographs and photography have always been important in my life...they have taken me to places I've never been...introduced me to people I've never met, and taught me lessons I would otherwise never have learned.
