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.
The Grand Canyon is one of those places that really do live up to all the hype. The moment to step out next to the railing that overlooks the canyon, the need to speak stops dead in its tracks. Even as you stand there looking at the vast expanse, you can’t help but think that...
The way American abstract expressionist painter, Richard Diebenkorn, broke down his beach side surroundings of Santa Monica, California, in the famous Ocean Park series, into abstract compositions is something that I hugely influences me whenever I take wide landscape style photos. This particular photo has a quite the Diebenkorn influence with the contrasting deep blues,...

Things that were not suppose to be in focus were in focus. History became legend. Legend became myth…. Also, for the first time in ARTPANTS history, you can click on the above image. There’s a 1920×1200 desktop wallpaper sized photo! Something like the grand canyon cannot be fully appreciated at 900 pixels wide! Like this...

Day #109 – One of the other buildings was this small house. Which had a door less refrigerator in it. I could have spent all day shooting these structures and imagining them in full paint and upkeep. ARTPANTS Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
The best part about road trips is the actual act of road-tripping. The conversations that are brought up when people are stuffed, for hours on end, into a rolling steel box are as diverse as the people you’re traveling with. The destination is just a reason to go on a road trip, but when you...
Day #108 – On the way to Needles, California along HWY40 there is an abandoned town. Boarded up, decaying, covered in ‘no trespassing’ signs… begging to be explored and photographed. Situated along one of the southwest’s many railroad lines – it looks like what once might have been a diner, gas station, and a few...
Will Roegge, Grady Nguyen, Thuy Ho and myself decided on an very last minute trip to the Grand Canyon, so there will be much pantsing that will be going on! Will forbid me to shoot the Grand Canyon in anything below F8.0… :( ARTPANTS 1 person likes post. NEVERMIND!
Will and I received this truly humbling email today from a fellow photographer: I’ll call it coincidence, but on the first of this year I decided to start taking one meaningful pictures everyday for 365 days. This idea came after losing a good friend and rediscovering my love of photography. I wanted to take time...
Nope, this is not Ding Chavez, of the Rainbow Six fame, but photographer and videographer, DC Chavez, freezing his butt off at Horse Thief Mile track at Willow Springs. Cold desert was definitely cold. ARTPANTS Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
