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 126 – 50mm Theme Week 2 of 7

Thursday, March 18, 2010 Theme Week, WillRoegge

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 I picked up Nate in the Project Westy van and we grabbed all kinds of good food. Starting with In n Out then dinner at the Mitsuwa Marketplace food court – topped off with a little JDM canned Coffee.

Nate is always working on something interesting and he brought his Ukulele, leprechaun beard, and leprechaun t-shirt. Well since it was St.Patrick’s day it was all very fitting and random. No better way to capture the action than the nifty 50. f1.4

Play it out Leprechaun Jason Mraz on a Ukulele.
