This image was lost some time after publication, but you can still view it here.

At left, the photo of Imperial Life in the Empire City author Rajiv Chandrasekaran as it appeared in today's New York Times. At right, an artist's conception of how the same item would have appeared had they actually, you know, used a photo of Imperial Life in the Empire City author Rajiv Chandrasekaran. Two questions: Anyone know who the other dude is? Also, anyone know who's doing the photo editing over at the NYT?

Rajiv Chandrasekaran [Random House]

UPDATE: A reader identifies the non-Rajiv as Ron "Edgy Enthusiast" Rosenbaum. Maybe there's a shitload of Shakespeare in Imperial Life.
