From the vaults: Safer Sex | Public service ads for Whitman Walker Clinic

In the 1980's and early 1990's I did the photography for a series of AIDs/HIV awareness and safer sex advertisements for campaigns for the Whitman-Walker Clinic in Washington DC..

The talented art director for all the work was the late Larry Roser of the Naab/Roser Agency. The copywriter was Elizabeth Naab of the same agency.

I am proud to have been part of this work. It was quite difficult to craft the right material for the times- there was significant resistance in the mainstream press to running some of these pieces. One of these pieces was the first ad promoting AIDs awareness in the DC area.

Some of the work has gotten lost over time. These are the ones I found in my archive.
