The Insolvency Chronicles, Part 1

My friends are really awesome. Over the past couple of days, I have received many concerned e-mails, phone calls, text messages, and Facebook wall posts asking me how I’ve been handling the chaos. Most of these messages have been generously accompanied by offers of alcohol. Before I begin, I’d just like to let [...]

Sometimes, your most interesting photos come entirely by accident:
Is it a painting? A photograph? A photograph of a painting? I personally think this is the most unique image I’ve ever taken – the blurred flower petals (yes that’s what they are) look like soft brush strokes on canvas. Not our usual idea of how a [...]

Understatement of the moment: It’s been one heck of a weekend.
In case you’ve been living under a rock (or haven’t been checking Bloomberg/CNBC every fifteen minutes like I have), you’ll probably recall that the last two days have been a bloodbath for Wall Street – Lehman Brothers filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, Merrill Lynch was sold [...]

Nothing makes your morning more memorable than time traveling over a bowl of Shredded Wheat.
Only inches from me was an old copy of the New York Times, dated September 11, 2008 – seven years after the terrorist attacks which ended the lives of more than 2700 New Yorkers and others in a single day. But it [...]
Life After Five

For us, the so-called “Facebook” generation, keeping tabs on each other has never been easier. An e-mail there, a Wall post there – can people ever truly forget us? But occasional correspondence in passing is very different from actually getting out of your swivel chair and reuniting with someone – you never quite know what [...]

The doors of the F train beckon, and they approach with a slow tango that sweeps them into the middle of my car; two people in a world entirely of their own making. Distance is painful, whether in inches or centimeters; she stands unchained, but shows no interest in escaping the fervid prison of his [...]

I’ve been told by various Manhattanites that my neighborhood resembles a quiet country village. In Queens, no less. Still, I can’t help but to be pleasantly shocked and amused by some of the wildlife that calls my backyard home. For instance, I was taking out the trash when I ran into this critter. The above [...]

I begin with a quick disclaimer: Though I’ve been taking casual snapshots for years, I myself am very new to serious photography. How new? If you browse to the end of my Flickr photostream, you’ll notice that the first shot I considered good enough to upload was taken a little over a year ago. Not [...]

Love is in the air, and few of us can resist its sweet fragrance. Yesterday I watched as Ray and Ingrid, two good friends of mine, tied the knot:
And it looks like they know how to take care of each other already! Who says that married couples can’t have their cake and eat it too?
Congratulations, [...]
New Look!

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably noticed that the Roving Hearts theme has completely changed. Do not adjust your TV sets – I’ve decided to try something new. Personally, I think centering the content makes the posts a bit more readable, and the two sidebars make the various links a bit more organized. Many thanks [...]
