Channel 2 ( CBS) had a show on today with George W. Bush's official
photographer, Eric Draper.  In several of the pictures and video clips
shown, he was using a Leica M of some type, especially in the offices and
when meetings occurred.  I did not catch the model, but I thought it was an
MP.  Might have been an M8.

 

He claimed to have made one Million photographs over the 8 years.

 

Mr. Draper has a new book out:  Front Row Seat: A Photographic Portrait of
the Presidency of George W. Bush

 

Several years ago, I remember a story that the only cameras allowed in the
Oval Office were Leica RF cameras.  Maybe it is still true?
