How did you coordinate this with ATC? Was it simply a matter of being
cleared into the class B airspace for aerial photography? Am I correct in
assuming that this would not be allowed anymore?

yeah, back in the day all it was just asking LGA tower to do aerial
photography low over the city and that was it, we did some pretty close
circling around that building as you can tell by the pic, and then went to
WTC and did same. It used to be similar in DC, you could ask the departure
from DCA to do an aerial tour and they just vectored you around the
prohibited areas, I did some close shots of National Cathedral and
Georgetown back then, as well as a face-on shot of the Pentagon just couple
of weeks before 9/11. I miss those days:
