The Foamy Green's photostream |
I try to piece the world back together with my pictures, but it always somehow comes out different than I remembered it. I don’t fault the pictures. Memory, in most things, is to blame.
I shoot film mainly using cheap or old, used cameras. Saint Holga hovers about me always.
It flatters me when anyone adds me as a contact, but I try to keep my list manageable; I can hardly keep track of my socks, much less my friend’s photographs.

Surfing heals all confusion. That’s why those pictures are here. That’s how my site got started.
With passionate insobriety, I translate Japanese poetry. Please check out my books:
Poems of Days Past

Matt Fargo says:
"You know how sometimes you find out something about a person where you just had NO IDEA? Like the quiet guy in the cubicle next to you is actually a Sufi Mystic and teaches Aikido? That's how I feel about Ry Beville and photography. I serious had NO IDEA."
