Had it been taken by anybody else it would probably have been thrown in file 13. I don't think he needed a Leica to take it! Harold MAYOR'S LEICA R7 IMAGE 'IMMORTALISES' WTC A photograph of the World Trade Center's twin towers taken on a Leica R7 by New York's mayor Rudy Giuliani in 1997 is being sold on the Internet to raise money for victims and families of September's terrorist atrocity. 'New York Twins' was one of a series of images captured by Mayor Giuliani using a Leica R7. Leica had originally intended for the print to be one of a series of 20 duplicates, but Leica decided not to go ahead with the full set following the 11 September attacks. Instead, it decided on a one-off 20x24in signed and framed print, which has been posted on the eBay website as part of the 'Auction for America: $100 Million in 100 Days'.
