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 #158 – Explored part of Butler’s Wharf in London, England while on a trip to shoot the FIA GT race at Silverstone. In admiration of London’s Underground and mass transit. Very effective and simple. ARTPANTS Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day #157 – This sign on the exterior wall of a building in London caught my attention because of the clean typography. Also because I have no clue what a Sprinkler Stop Valve is in actuality. Does that stop the sprinkler after the fire is out? In case of a false alarm? Accidental sprinkler system...
Day #156 – Bark on trees is a photographic no-no. So I say yes. This shot looks cool texturally. I really dig it. ARTPANTS 2 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
Day #155 – Austin drift kids gather round for a driver’s meeting as the sun starts to set in the Texas sky. ARTPANTS 4 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
Day #154 – Afternoon Delight. ARTPANTS Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day #153 – Your steering wheel is on the wrong side! Do you work for the postal service? ARTPANTS Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day #152 – A faded blue door, somewhere in Mesa, Arizona. There is a sculpture of American Gothic in Mesa and a gigantic suitcase with stamps from other countries. ARTPANTS Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day #151 – In an epic battle of zombie Elvis VS Lucha Libre, Parker took a dive into a knee and bumped his head. Luckily, his dad Jarod was there to calm him down and fix his lucha libre mask – so he could return to battle. ARTPANTS 4 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
Day #150 – Thanks to Jarod, Stephanie, and Parker DeAnda for letting Hobo Herron and I crash your casa for a couple night while we were in Arizona for Keep Drifting Fun. Parker is a cool kid and I’m glad that I caught this candid smile photo. ARTPANTS 3 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
Day #149 – Meanwhile above the line to cross the Hoover Dam is the Super Bridge – still under construction. This concrete behemoth is magnificent and massive. But it doesn’t hold back Lake Mead or make electricity. Hoover Dam > Super Bridge. ARTPANTS 3 people like this post. NEVERMIND!
Day #150 – Thanks to Brandon and everyone at Blue Media in Phoenix, Arizona for wrapping the Keep Drifting Fun project Westy van. Since ARTPANTS doesn’t involve automotive photography and is about pushing outside of Linh & I’s “go to” creative defaults – there are no photos of the awesome wrap on here. Check the...
Day #148 – Why Sit in Dam Traffic reads a sign in front of the last gas station before the Hoover Dam. Why? Because the superbridge isn’t finished, that’s why. duh. KDF ARTPANTS 1 person likes post. NEVERMIND!
Day #147 – Yo PANTS’ers, I’m working on a project called Keep Drifting Fun. Traveling around in a 1974 Volkswagen Van – shooting grassroots drifting all over the grand olde United States. On the second leg of the trip, Las Vegas, Nevada to Phoenix, AZ Josh Herron and I have been jamming to some Royksopp....
Day #146 – Rust Runs. The texture, color, and randomness of this shipping container caught my eye. So I loaded up the left side of the frame with it. Keeping it out of the context of it’s location and surroundings. Just the details. Just the rust. ARTPANTS Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
