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.

A lot of our readers have started their own 365 photo projects because they were all inspired by Art Pants! Will and I are genuinely humbled by the fact. Let’s wish all of them a giant “GOOD LUCK!” to all of them too because a new photo every day for a year is a huge undertaking. Here’s a few of our readers’ sites, give them as much love as you’ve given us:

Jose Martinez: http://www.jmrtnz.com/

Allen Chu: http://allenchu.4rtofclean.com/

Dan Higbie & Jeff Gruver: http://www.photodueltothedeath.com

Philip Tieu: http://www.philtieu.com/365/

So, best of luck to all of you. Don’t get comfortable, and just keep shooting!

Also, if you started a 365 project and haven’t told us about it, please tell us! We’d love to help spread the word.

NEVERMIND!
