I'm a few days into my 3-week residency with StreitLab, a new venture from the wonderful gallery Streit House Space.
My project is part alchemical adventure / part public art installation and at the end of it, Streit House Space will publish my very first zine. I'm excited!

Hi everyone! This is @carriecrowphoto posting an experiment for you this week. I’ve been working on my series, ‘Observatorio’ for a couple years, which uses observation deck telescopes as a life-sized filter of sorts. With most of the telescopes left outside to weather the elements, the photos that result are marked by the dirt, water stains, scratches, light leaks, focus issues etc. of the machines. This week, I thought I would take the photos themselves outside for a week and see how nature treats them. I'll report back at the end of my week as to how the prints fared.

Thrilled to be in the Spring 2016 collection of Streit House Space, an experimental online exhibition space I have admired for a long, long time. Check them out here and on Instagram for wonderful photographic inspiration.

I have been following the online photography gallery Streit House Space with great interest for awhile and was delighted to be selected for their recent exhibit, 'This is It.' The gallery is run by Jordanna Kalman, a photographer and curator under the simple premise: "photographers submit their work via email which is then printed, displayed on a wall, documented and finally posted online."
Why is this interesting to me? Well, firstly, I think Jordanna's personal work is brilliant and I love her gallery's aesthetic and philosophy. As a photographer who obsesses over every detail, from inception to print production, it's a refreshing experience to let that image go entirely. Streit House exhibitions are essentially a photograph of a selection of photographs, printed on whatever paper and printer the curator deemed fit and I just love how each of those individual images cohere in a new, dreamlike narrative borne out of Jordanna's imagination. It's kind of like being in someone else's dream and that is a wonderful feeling.
