©Ryan SchierlingI just finished up a great job for Wetpaint.com.
They're a Seattle-based company that lets you create and build your own wiki websites. (For those who aren't so internet-speak savvy, a wiki is a type of website with pages that anyone can edit and contribute to, used for anything from social networking to distributing information.)
Wetpaint was named one of Time Magazine's 50 Best Websites in 2007, and companies like HP, Oracle, T-Mobile and Dell, as well as entertainment giants like CBS, ABC, Showtime and Discovery Channel already have sponsored Wetpaint-powered communities.
(Or, you know, if you just really liked Chewbacca or something, you and your friends could start your own Wookie wiki. Or, or maybe a Buck Rogers and robot friends one... a Twiki wiki. Bidi bidi bidi.)
Sorry. I'll stop.
They've got a fantastic loft space near Pioneer Square (no cubicle culture here), and I spent two days shooting office reportage and portraits, figuring out what makes the place hum (their own industrial-size Starbucks coffee machine) and cajoling folks out from behind their headphones and giant monitors.

©Ryan SchierlingMany thanks to Kevin Flaherty for giving me the freedom to run amok, and to everyone who was patient with me as I poked about, asking questions and turning the camera on them during their nine-to-five.
