Marsha McDonald's recent work includes "portrait", a continuing series, documenting thousands of common flowers and weeds found in Portuguese, Japanese and American neighborhoods. The black and white photographs address both the diversity and similarities that unite modest household gardens and communities. They also serve as mementos, reminders as flowers can be, of love, loss, and remembrance.
