brettcoon's popular Family photosI live and work in Silicon Valley, CA. I'm an engineer by profession, but have dabbled in digital photography and video for many years. I use a Nikon D200 for most of my pictures, and I'm really loving it. I also have a Fuji f31fd for times when I don't want to carry so much gear. The pictures featured on these galleries are mostly taken by me with my D200, with a few from my f31 or contributed by my wife or kids from their cameras.
I also have a website with older pictures and some videos at http://www.cheesepipe.com
Feel free to download the pictures or make prints for your own personal use, but please contact me before using any of them commercially or publicly. Some galleries don't allow the originals to be downloaded. If you want to download an original from one of these, feel free to email me. In general, if you find my pictures interesting, I'd love to hear about it.
