MEMBER PROFILE // Johnny Sandaire Complements Technical Research with Vibrant Photography

3rd Ward member Johnny Sandaire daylights as a Technical Researcher for Hewlett-Packard, where he develops applications for data mining. "I also manage large technical projects, dealing with encryption and intellectual property protection. My research involves the implementation of Fuzzy Logic to enhance Likert Scale data analysis."

In his spare time, though, he uses 3rd Ward's studios to shoot vivid and creative photography. Investigating light and shadows in his work, he's produced some amazing portraits. "I am looking for Body Art in all its aspects that I can photograph with my experimental lighting techniques," he says.

Sandaire also recently published a book featuring 111 photos that he took in his native Haiti prior to the recent earthquake. He's also captured images in places like Bulgaria and Poland.

Sandaire's work shows that, even if you have a full-time job doing something completely different, there's always room to innovate.
