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 126 – 50mm Theme Week 2 of 7

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...

Day 121 – Behind the Scenes

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.

Day 120 – Linh’pants

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 116 – Reflections on a Perfect Day

Day #116 – There are few days I’d ever use the word “perfect” to describe. Not because of my outlook on life, but because I am incredibly ambitious and no twenty four stretch ever seems to be able to contain all that I want to achieve.
Today was perfect. The clouds were animals. The water was...

Day 115 – Cloudpants Redux

Day #115 – While on an automotive video shoot, took a few stills of the great clouds that rolled into Los Angeles today. Los Angeles is usually over-cast and hazy – bare of any kinds of accumulation or signs of percipitation. So today was a Cloudpants day.

Day 114 – More Kabob Points for Thuy

Day #114 – Thuy earned massive Kabob points with Linhbergh’s posts. She is going to earn more with this post as well. Somewhere in the bokeh’d background of this image is the Grand Canyon. But who cares!? There is human subject – which is far more interesting than a bunch of eroded rock beds. As...

Day 113 – Linh Tripping

Day #113 – “I’m Really Awesome At Being Humble” reads Linhbergh’s t-shirt. Fitting for a man whose metaphorical cube is as large as a desk. Good thing our ladders are upright and to infinity. Storms are inconsequential and cannot distract us from our goals. Now if only my horse would stop licking me and let...
