Since World AIDS Day, 1 December 2010, falls on a Wednesday this year, I thought I would use the entire week to bring attention to the event. Every day, from Monday to Friday, I'll be publishing a different World AIDS Campaign (WAC) city poster that I created by uploading my own photographs into a template available at the WAC website. I customized each poster to represent a separate geographic area to highlight the fact that AIDS continues to be a global pandemic.

So to begin the series and the week, I start off with the city I live in, Montreal, where each year, the Black & Blue Festival, the world's largest gay-benefit dance festival, attracts thousands of tourists during Canadian Thanksgiving weekend to raise money for HIV/AIDS and the gay community. It is organized annually by the Bad Boy Club Montréal (aka BBCM and Fondation BBCM).
