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 184 – Jacob Chills 3 of 4

Saturday, May 22, 2010 WillRoegge

Day #184 – Note to reader* this apartment is trashed because of two hobos who will take over your couch, air mattress, floor, and balconies. They will keep you from working, from eating regularly, from the everyday, the drab, the ordinary.

Usually the apartment is much neater. You can still get the sense of floor to ceiling windows, the amount of light, wood floors, and balcony – all really amazing qualities of a nice pad. Imagine waking up with the sun and feeling very awake – with the day around you every morning. No need for blinds – immediate connection with the outside world.
