Hi, I am Pastor, Chuck Shingledecker. Yes, I am an ordained Lutheran Minister whose life long love for the natural world is best expressed through the art of photography. 

I received my first camera as a Christmas present in 1994, and from that moment on, I was hooked. My artistic goal is to invoke emotion and feeling in hearts of viewers and customers. If I am able help others feel - in part - what I felt at the time of capturing an image, then it is a successful photo.
