Ryan Smith's hidden gem

Life / Art

Ryan Smith has secured himself a place in skateboard history as one of the most explosive personalities to touch a skateboard. Becoming somewhat of a recluse in recent years, this inside look at his personal photo diary is a real treat for any fan out there. In is original polaroids taken by Smith himself — some transfered and collaged into a book he kept while traveling with DC.

above is a photo Ryan shot on his iphone when I asked him for some new juicey goods for this interview.
