Last night I went to a pre-screening of the new Justin Long/Drew Berrymore film, Going The Distance. It’s about long distance relationships, which is particularly pertinent to my current relationship. It’s a funny film, though sometimes I thought it was a little too sappy. But the funny parts? Man, they’re hilarious. Watch out for Jim Gaffigan’s first appearance eating a sandwich and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Another reason I wanted to see the film is because it features a band I’m pretty interested in right now: The Boxer Rebellion. I went to see them play an event at Bryant Park a few weeks ago, and I must say, they’re pretty great live. They’re British, though lead singer Nathan Nicholson is from Tennessee, and guitarist Todd Howe is Australian, and they’ve made their way up the charts with several hard hitting pop-rock tunes. I think this film could really push them over the top in the US, but I guess we’ll see in time. If nothing else, it will get them some much deserved attention.
I took this shot of the guys right after they played Bryant Park.

What did you light them with?
Just one speedlight, a Canon 430ex II, off-camera, and balanced to tungsten to match the christmas lights.
