In my first suggestion, I'm saying that you should try

      Find::find("#{SOURCE_PATH}/#{folder}") do |path|
      end

and watch the memory usage of just that alone and see if it's poor. I'm 
not familiar with that library personally, so I'd want to verify that 
it's not the memory hog.

You have it right on the other one, @photo = nil will make sure that 
reference goes away which could lead to quicker garbage collection. 
Actually, it looks like @photo should really be a local variable, since 
it's lifetime should only be within the Find::find block, so drop the @ 
from @photo.
