Michael Sedano photographs nature two mornings a week, looking for the perfect action moment or a darn good still life of animals and plants.

Sedano acquired photojournalism experience as a soldier, photographing military activities as the Information Specialist of the 7th of the 5th Air Defense Artillery Battalion (HAWK), stationed along the DMZ in the Republic of Korea in 1969 and 1970. 

Honorably Discharged from the United States Army, Sedano attended USC Graduate School where he was Chief Photographer for Daily Trojan and El Rodeo yearbook. 

Sedano's Chicano floricanto photographs reside in the Tomas Rivera Library at UC Riverside, Doheny Library at USC, and appear in the film The Rise and Fall of the Brown Buffalo.

Michael Sedano retired from the world of work as a corporate executive in 2009.
