It's interesting being in someone else's mind for any period of time. Editing is like that—you're channeling someone else's sensibility. So for the past week, Donna and have been side-by-side editing captions to pictures that comprise her life's work. Being in her head is challenging. Donna's world is violent, unsafe, oppressive, futuristic, fatalistic, polyamorous, patriarchal and relentlessly political. Except when it isn't—which really keeps you on your toes. Because I don't know if you've noticed, but people aren't consistent or logical. Particularly photographers, who are primarily visual thinkers. Or maybe just Geminis. Anyway, ask me what Donna thinks about anything, and can I tell you: Both what she thinks and the opposite that she thinks a few minutes later. Now I have to remember what I think!
