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 #92 – Linhbergh and I caught up over some Cuban food for lunch and discussed the future. Rinzbrgr decided to call the future and ask what they thought about our discussion. Future phones or is this man talking to table ware?

Day #68 – Umami Burger with Joshua “Hobo” Herron, Linhbergh, Pete, and Grady. Been sad all day today because I finished my Umami and started going through Umami withdrawal. Go eat one. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll taste the fifth taste, and have the best burger you have ever had.
Day #57 – The Beatles’ White Album is easily my favorite of their work.
I hated the Beatles for the longest time. While many people come to love and appreciate the music they were raised on – the Beatles always bothered me and I could not appreciate their sound. Then I grew up. Loved someone, hurt...
Day #56 – Brownie is my family’s long haired Dachshund. I picked him out from a pet store as a puppy over 15 years ago. Fifteen is long life for a wiener dog. While he’s now grey in the face, blind, and mostly deaf – he is still one of the most unique animals I’ve...
Day #55 – Spent the last few days with my Mom and Dad. The last two images are great representations of my parent’s personalities. Glad I was able to spend the holidays with them.
Day #54 – My family is becoming accustomed to me photographing them. Which has allowed to get the more natural images that are better representative of their personalities. Not what someone is trying to present when they realize that they are being photographed.
Here is a quiet moment with my dad as he enjoys a cup...
Day #52 – Part of the Roegge family Christmas tradition is visiting my Mom’s side of the family in Pittsburgh. My Grandma McDowell hid behind her hands for a few photos, but I was finally able to get this shot. Grandma has a big birthday coming up in 2010 and it is always nice to...
Day #48 – Arenal Volcano looms in the clouds. Did you know its the 12th most active volcano in the world? It has a perfect cone shape is visible from many miles away. Costa Rica, Pura Vida, no?
Day #47, Waiting for better surf in Jaco, Costa Rica. Swells, I left you in California.
Day #46 – Snapped from the driver’s seat of my Suzuki Alto rental ‘kei’ car. The sun sets behind a field, somewhere on the Nacoya Peninsula in Costa Rica, as American hip hop plays from the FM radio. Windows down, hair blown, sand between toes, and no worries between my ears – perfect.
Day #41 – Abstract Theme Week 5 of 7. The color and square cutout shape of this door caught my attention while walking the streets of Jaco, Costa Rica. Since I’ve been stuck in airports for too long – I have some serious PANTS’ing to do now. No artists to reference, just: shape, color, and...
Day 27 – Post Thanksgiving cooking. Doesn’t sound right.
Day #26 – Thanksgiving preparation
Day #16, Palm Springs Buddha carving at the Colony Palms hotel.
