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.
This upcoming week will officially be our second official theme week. Will and I will be shooting photos for ARTPANTS only with our respective 50mm lenses. The choice of aperture to the users discretion but knowing the both of us, we tend to land in the more wide-open territory…. This should definitely be an interesting...

How early did we, as a species, come up with the concept of ‘art’ and ‘color’ to the point where we always look towards a setting sun with such majesty and awe? I’m sure we’ll never find out… but I do have to say that the sunsets as of late in southern california have been...
Day #124 – Pete mows down on some Pho after a long day of working on Project Westy. Thanks to Pete and Aya for their help today – made a lot of progress. Shot on my Palm Pre, because I regretfully didn’t have my 7D handy. ARTPANTS 1 person likes post. NEVERMIND!
By the way, I left my lens hoods at home. Will Roegge told me that “lens hoods keep the good out.” ARTPANTS 11 people like this post. NEVERMIND!

Day #122 – Behind the Scenes with DC Chavez’s photo shoot part two. Flaring and not looking at the camera. ARTPANTS 7 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
Day #121 – Behind the Scenes of a DC Chavez photo shoot with Kathy Gardiner at South Bay Studios. Yes, this is the kind of lighting and rigging that goes into a portrait shoot. Considering DC was primarily lighting just Kathy’s face. Craziness. ARTPANTS 6 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
Quick, someone tell me where I can find Ultima Weapon. I need to acquire the keep-magic-hour-light-last-longer materia! Also, we’ve now added the LIKE feature! Hit that button if you like certain photos on ARTPANTS! 8 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
Day #120 – The man and his camera. After climbing through a hole in a fence and sneaking past LeBron James making out with his girl in the state park – we made it to the dam. Its kind of as close to an Ansel Adams moment as you can get – I mean Los...
Day #119 – Can you spot Linhbergh in the photo above? Let me tell you, from personal experience, the water in the creek was not warm. ARTPANTS 8 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
The perfect day can only be complimented by the perfect plunge into the the perfect water. I took the plunge into the water right after Will. The height caught me by surprise. I felt like I was flying for more than a few seconds. You don’t realize actually how far you’re falling from until you’re...
Day 118 – Leave the lens hood at home, let the sun flares come in. Ask DC Chavez… 2 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
Day 117 – Malibu Creek State Park, flowing… ARTPANTS Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
