How did I end up running a car club and doing rolling shots regularly? It all started when I got the green light from my wife to trade in my 2016 EcoBoost Mustang for a 2018 Mustang GT. That’s when I started to get it—the thrill of fast cars. It's addictive, feeling the throttle push you into the seat, the engine’s roar, and gripping the steering wheel with white knuckles. One day, I spotted Kaleigh’s Mustang at Round Rock Donuts with an Instagram decal, so I followed her and messaged, “Nice car!” A few chats later, she invited me to hang with her car club, Family First Racing.
Joining the club was awesome! I met some hilarious folks and made lifelong friends. Eventually, I wanted more involvement—helping run the club, making a website, and boosting our social media presence. That’s when I started BAMBOOZLED. Now, we have nearly 100 members, an active Discord, and our meets draw dozens of people. We’re growing every day!
Getting into the car community led me to car photography. Watching others capture every little detail and take rolling shots (or "rollers") inspired me to try. And I loved it! With my car mount, I get crisp shots of cars zooming at 60mph. I’ve also mastered capturing dynamic shots on race tracks. After years of practice, here are some of my favorite captures. Looking to capture your own car’s essence? Book a session with The Vinyl Lens, and let’s create some magic!
