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 #136 – Living next to a oil refinery does have some benefits. There are always tanker ships in the bay, albeit leaking crude into the bay. Tanker ships are nice when the light is fading into the horizon where the ocean meets the sky – I’ll be sailing. ARTPANTS 3 people like this post....
Day #135 – Highland Ave long exposure. ARTPANTS 1 person likes post. NEVERMIND!
Day #134 – These stairs are next to my house and I have always wondered where they used to lead to and how they became so worn. ARTPANTS 1 person likes post. NEVERMIND!
ARTPANTS stickers are now available on our ARTPANTS Store. Order a few and outfit your camera case, laptop, or car. Support the PANTs. 4 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
Day #133 – ARTPANTS regulars Joshua Herron and Peter Tarach make another appearance for Day #133. This was during a quick headshot shoot for Josh’s Formula Drift 2010 badge. ARTPANTS 1 person likes post. NEVERMIND!
Day #132 – My new nickname for Josh “Hobo” Herron is the Internet. The dude is on it, all the time. He gets the freshest internet content before me – no doubt. ARTPANTS Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day #131 50mm Theme Week Day 7 of 7. The week of Nifty Fifty prime is over. Here is a parting shot of DTLA. Shot from the 105/110 HOV lane interchange. One of the craziest cloverleaf interchanges in the world. Yes, the world. ARTPANTS 3 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
Day #130 – Another usual suspect here – DC Chavez just showed off some of his best motorsports photography at the ID Agency Open House. Along with Joey Redmond and Estevan Oriol – some really talented guys behind the lens. Be sure to check out DC’s informative and educational lighting posts on Profoto’s blog. You...
Day #129 – Theme Week 50mm. After a bit of a delay, I’m going to play some catch up here with Pants’ing. Peter Tarach has been working on some cool projects – check out his blog & blinded by awesome. ARTPANTS 1 person likes post. NEVERMIND!
Day #128 – Coffee. The stronger the better. Fresh ground Kona beans. Drink it black or don’t call if coffee. :p ARTPANTS 1 person likes post. NEVERMIND!
Day #127 – 50mm Theme Week. Subject is my Canon F1 with Canon 50mm f1.4 lens. Even though there is something funky with the film advancer mid-roll every time, I love this camera. Incredibly simple. Undeniably beautiful soft look to everything that gets exposed onto its given 35mm stock. ARTPANTS 2 people like this post....
Day #126 – Thanks to FaceTube, I knew that Nate Adam’s birthday was Wednesday and thanks to Nate’s schedule as pilot – I knew he would be in Los Angeles over night. Kind of a bummer way to spend your birthday – in a different city. Been there before and it was not memorable. So...
Day #125 – Tuesday night went to the Brig with Dang and his cousin for the Grilled Cheese Truck and later the Kogi truck. Two LA food trucks, One night. Food coma. Thanks to Dang for supporting Artpants and being a cool ass dude! Caught him off guard in this photo. Check out his blog...
I find the 50mm lens on my camera body more so than my wider or even my longer lenses. The focal length just works in a lot more situations than a much wider lens. A 50mm is like the little bear’s porridge and bed: its not too wide, its not too long, but its juuuust...
