Reading AuctionBytes: Giuliani's Photo of WTC Towers to Be Auctioned on eBay

Leica Camera will auction a photo of the World Trade Center taken by New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. "New York Twins" was one in a series of photographs taken by Mayor Giuliani with a Leica R7 camera and presented in an exhibit entitled "View from the Capital of the World" at the Leica Gallery in New York City in the spring of 1998. The auction will begin today on eBay as part of its "Auction for America" campaign to raise money for those affected by the 9/11 attacks. The photo, signed by the mayor, is a one-of-a-kind piece that has been numbered one in a limited edition of 20. The image immortalizes the World Trade Center at dusk on an evening in January 1997. http://www.ebay.com
