In September 2012 Mark Kolter, Kolter Creative Counsel, Milwaukee, WI, arranged for a crew of professional videographers, to document the daily lives of the Franciscan Sisters of Christian Charity at Immaculate Conception Convent, Yuma, AZ. One of the members of the crew was Priscilla Thomas, Priscilla Thomas Photography. Find here a blog posting in which Priscilla reflects on the experience. Don’t miss the photos!

Along with photographing the Sisters at the convent, I also joined them at grade school and the high school where they either serve as teachers or administrative staff.
