ART PANTS – A WILL ROEGGE & LINHBERGH YEAR LONG DAILY 365 PHOTO CHALLENGE bio picture

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 131 – Will don’t wanna get up.

William of the Roegge always maintains that he’d get up early to get a good start on the day but somehow doesn’t quite go through. Maybe its the peanut butter that is slowing down the brain’s synapses or peanut butter has completely replaced the brain itself! Sadly, those questions will never be answered. Well… unless...

DAY 126 – No excuses

There aren’t any excuses that can make my absence from this site acceptable because, well, it really is unacceptable. I’ve creatively alienated myself from the exact reason why this site got started and most importantly, I’ve alienated all of you that have supported me so much. Prepare for an ARTPANTS photo dump –I’ve got quite...

Day 125 – 50mm Theme 1 of 7

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...

THEME WEEK #2 – 50mm

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...

Day 123 – Sunset hunting

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...
