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 58 – Snow

Day #58 – Snow flurries falling, settling on bushes, roofs, swirling into drifts, and lining window sills. People complain about winter, I’m not one of them. I love it. ISO 400, 35mm, f2, 1/500th shutter. This is a bark on trees shot. Like this photo! NEVERMIND!

Day 57 – It’s Optimus Prime –I swear!

I took a photo of my nephew for #54. It was a moment of quiet reflection, but today’s is a photo of him doing the complete opposite. This strange one told me that he was 100% certain that he is Optimus Prime from the Transformers universe. I didn’t realize Optimus was so short. Like this...

Day 55 – the gift of table

There’s nothing better during Christmas time than to sit around a table, munching away at what’s left of dinner, for hours just talking –nothing. Like this photo! NEVERMIND!

Day 57 – Happiness is a Warm Gun

Day #57 – The Beatles’ White Album is easily my favorite of their work. I hated the Beatles for the longest time. While many people come to love and appreciate the music they were raised on – the Beatles always bothered me and I could not appreciate their sound. Then I grew up. Loved someone,...

Day 56 – Brownie, your still a puppy to me.

Day #56 – Brownie is my family’s long haired Dachshund. I picked him out from a pet store as a puppy over 15 years ago. Fifteen is long life for a wiener dog. While he’s now grey in the face, blind, and mostly deaf – he is still one of the most unique animals I’ve...

Day 54 – Here’s to looking at you, kid.

It’s great to be back in my hometown of San Jose, California. It’s a completely different world from my 110 octane world. Wholesome is the word that best describes this city. This is my nephew. He’s a strange one. He might even be missing a few nuts and bolts. It’s rare to find this little...

Day 54 – Pops 2

Day #54 – My family is becoming accustomed to me photographing them. Which has allowed to get the more natural images that are better representative of their personalities. Not what someone is trying to present when they realize that they are being photographed. Here is a quiet moment with my dad as he enjoys a...

Day #52 – Part of the Roegge family Christmas tradition is visiting my Mom’s side of the family in Pittsburgh. My Grandma McDowell hid behind her hands for a few photos, but I was finally able to get this shot. Grandma has a big birthday coming up in 2010 and it is always nice to...
