ART PANTS – A WILL ROEGGE & LINHBERGH YEAR LONG DAILY 365 PHOTO CHALLENGE bio picture

What is Art Pants?

Art Pants is a 365 day-long-daily-photography-challenge, featuring Will Roegge and Linhbergh Nguyen which was started on November 1st, 2009. Our goal is to each publish one photograph a day for an entire year. But different from usual "photo 365s" out there, we've set ourselves a rules to abide by throughout the year:

1. No photos of anything automobile related

2. No self portraits.

Both of those rules are there to prevent us from going the easy route on taking our daily photos, or in other words, to use a crutch. The purpose of this project is to make the both of us think outside of our usual subjects and expand our creative defaults. The harder we make it upon ourselves, the better off we'll be creatively (or so we hope so!) come Novemeber 1st 2010.

We'll also be having different 'theme weeks' throughout the year. These themes could range from different subject matters; places, portraits, grass, sunrises, landscapes, faces, etc, etc. Or it could even be a technical theme; biggest aperature, smallest aperature, slow shutter speeds, 35mm film, camera phone fast action, etc....

We would love to hear your input throughout the course of the year. If you have ANY ideas for theme weeks or shots you'd like to see, let us know!

Oh, we both love black coffee and we both love Art Pants.

Day 93 – hard knock life

Day 93 -

Dear cameras,

Over the years, I’ve used you, abused you, throw you around, put you through harsh conditions, and shot you until your last volt of battery life. Its a thankless job and I’m going to keep abusing every one after you. I have incredibly high standards. So I’m going to treat you like the plastic and complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor that you are… hard.

so f*cking hard. If scars are life’s little stories and a picture is worth a thousand words, well then… you’ll say volumes.

Will

Day 91 – California Dreamin

Day #91 – After two weeks in Utah, I’m back in California.

Day 90 – Test Icicles

Day #90 – After watching the Bansky documentary and being around artists all week – I ended up making my own experimental art. No icicles were actually harmed because the paint is field paint – which is dissolves in water. Apparently, some neighbors didn’t appreciate the orange-ish pink icicles.

Mike - BLOOD-SICKLES!!!!February 1, 2010 - 9:02 am

Dan - Test Icicles that title made me chuckle...February 1, 2010 - 2:32 pm

Day 89 – Lock Down

Day #89 – This little guy lives in the ski shop at the base of the Silver Star lift in Park City. He gets to wander around the area outside on his own. Including the cafe next door, where he can pick up a few treats from impressionable customers. I decided to follow him around for a few minutes. Until he got scooped back up and put back inside. On lock down.

Day 88 – Double D

Day #88 – Dave Mode chilling between media management duties during the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. Dave is a cool dude. Check out those shades.

Day 87 – Double D Converse

Day #87 – Dave Drusky was nice enough to let me photograph him during Sundance. Dave is my co-worker of the past two years during Live @ Sundance. His well worn size 13 low top Chucks are from touring with Capybara.

Day 86 – Low Clouds

Day #86 – Low clouds in Park City. Park City Mountain Resort is visible in the distance. Peaks hidden by the clouds.

Day 85 – Icicle Waves

Day #85 – Crazy Icicles shaped like breaking ocean waves at the Sundance Resort. Impressive and frightening looking at the same time.

Elijah - Awesome shots, Will. Definitely some unique icicles!January 23, 2010 - 8:29 pm

DC Chavez - SIIIIIIICK! Looks like something out of of a Marvel Comic book- Silver Surfer-ish. Nice Pants'ing...January 26, 2010 - 2:53 pm

Day 84 – Sundance Vision

Day #84 – Sundance Vision. Wide Screen snow jam creating problems on Park Ave in downtown Park City, Utah. This looks like chaos – mostly, because it is chaos.

Phil - awe inspiring...New desktop to remind me there is more to live than construction and sand dunes.January 25, 2010 - 12:44 am

Day 81 – A break in the clouds

It has almost been a whole week since the sun has shown its face around Southern California. And I am a bit sad to see the rain go so soon! I enjoy the pitter-patter of rain in the evenings and also its cleansing qualities on every aspect of physical life.

Free car wash? Why thank you Mother Nature!

WillRoegge - Lovely colors. Glad to hear you got a car wash out of it all.January 23, 2010 - 4:52 pm

Day 80 – Rain soaked pondering

Day 79 – Clouds

This past week, the greater Southern California area has experienced a rare and strange natural phenomenon that makes the streets shiny. Apparently, it has something to do with this gray substance that has blanketed the sky these past few days.

Citizens of the Los Angeles area have panicked. Some been so emotionally distraught that they have turned their cars over so it lays upside down on the freeway! The future is a strange time to be in.

Day 78 – I’ve been attacked again.

There’s photographic evidence that a ruthless purple monster has attacked again. Can you spot it?
