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 #50 – Back at home in Cleveland, Ohio catching up with my family. My Mom always makes me laugh. She told me to “remove her wrinkles” – no way, they are the best part of the image. Genuine. Love ya Mom. Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day #49 – El Porto, California. Long Exposure. Thirty seconds at f22. Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day #40 – Abstract Theme 4 of 7. Linhbergh’s first abstraction referenced the work of Piet Mondrian. Mondrian’s linear composition, flat white background, and use of primary colors is simply captivating. At dinner…yes dinner, I noticed the ceiling was exposed. The wiring, piping, and lighting being visible – and creating an impressive intersection of lines. ...
Day #39 - Reflections of the Broadway Bar in downtown Los Angeles are lost in the grunge of the parallel storefront. The neon glow of the sign caught my attention and fades into a mass of glowing text. Framed by a hastily painted wall. Artifacts of popular culture and the past. Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day #37 – My first of seven days of the first theme week of ARTPANTS – Abstraction. I choose different references than Linhbergh’s artists – with analytical cubism. Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque are well know cubist artists. The scene above has many different angles, lines, and intersections. It also contains foreground elements that obscure...
Day #32 – Suprise birthday party for DC Chavez. Happy Birthday DC. Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day #31 – Being ill calls for large quantities of tea and its anti-oxidants. Placing in direct sunlight reveals its secret ingrediant – the visible light spectrum. Abstract. Why not. Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day #30 – Milestone, thirty days of art pants. 335 left to go. Tried to process as neutrally/color faithfully as possible. Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day #29 – And the coastline is quiet. While we’re quietly losing control. And we’re silent but sure we inventened the cure that will wash out my memories of her. “The harpoon is loaded. The cage is lowered. The water is red.” Like you, like you. Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
Day 28 – Night time long exposure at the El Porto power plant. Like this photo! NEVERMIND!
