The GEO Group (Wackenhut), Fresh Del Monte Produce, Army bases with security run by Wackenhut, the law firm Latham & Watkins, ICE HQ in DC, an oil/natural gas company with Enron connections, and a large produce grower in California have all been enjoying my photos.

Some way more than others. A select few contacted each other, then came in succession to look at my photos.

I hope this means I am in contention for a high-level Bush Administration career.
