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 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. ARTPANTS 6 people like this post. NEVERMIND!

Day 63 – Not the front end of a Mazda 3

Day #63 – By ARTPANTs terms we are prohibited from crutching and shooting what we do frequently or easily – cars. You are not looking at the front end of a Mazda 3, but rather the reflection of neon lights in a pearlescent reflective surface. Spiraling and warping down the front like a liquid light...

Day #51 – For day number fifty I shot my mom on the phone. A day later, I followed my dad around with the Canon 7D until he smiled. He was wondering why I was shooting so many photos of him. I think I’m going to stay in the mini-theme of my family and taking...
