The future of the hobby through a young enthusiast’s lens! 📸🏁

While walking the 28th Griot's Garage Colorado Nationals, we spotted 12-year-old Chauncey capturing the action and asked him to send us a few of his favorite photos from the weekend.

Chauncey’s love for photography started before he was two, when he would borrow his parents’ phones to take pictures of everything—including plenty of selfies of his feet! With encouragement from his mom, Kira, he began looking for new and interesting subjects to photograph.

His passion for cars came from his dad, Tyson, who grew up attending car shows and passed that enthusiasm along. Their family’s ’67 Volkswagen Bus helped Chauncey develop an even greater appreciation for vintage vehicles.

We love seeing the Goodguys Good Times through Chauncey’s eyes. Check out some of his favorite shots from Colorado—and help us show this talented young photographer some love! 🔥
