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 95 – Bathroom Process B&W

Friday, February 12, 2010 WillRoegge

Day #95 – I picked up supplies to build a simple 35mm b&w processing lab in my bathroom. Its been over 8 years since I processed b&w film in my high school’s dark room. 35mm film still has the latitude and characteristics that make it unique. Plus shooting film forces me to compose thoughtfully and deliberately instead of shooting high coverage then trimming down to the best few images.

One of the challenges of working with film is working in a changing bag which is working blind. In college, I enjoyed loading 16mm film magazines for our productions. It was a challenge, but was rewarding when the professor would get our dailies – to think “hey, I loaded and downloaded all of this film”.

This is just the beginning for my 35mm b&w adventures. I have to work out a few processes and make sure my Canon F1 is up to snuff for the project.

jmartinez - Good stuff Will. Nice to see you jumping back to film. I would shoot film more often if I could process them myself or if things weren't so digitally driven. I gotta learn how to develop film :(February 12, 2010 - 11:55 pm

WillRoegge - Yo Jose! Happy to be shooting some 33mm again. The bathroom self processing results are coming out better and better with some more practice. You shooting the FD Season again?February 13, 2010 - 7:48 pm

James Evins - Dude, nice work! I love the feel of it!February 13, 2010 - 8:43 pm

jmartinez - Yes sir, I will be shooting FD this year. Hopefully we get to work together on a special project at the end of the year ;)February 13, 2010 - 8:48 pm

misslieze - I prefer film! Just this natural process and texture you can't get any other way. Besides, it like Christmas day when you get the developed images back, because you never know how its going to turn out. I love these! I need to figure out how to develop it myself as well. Getting 120 developed is expensive, esp if none of the images comes out.February 13, 2010 - 10:33 pm
