I got my copy of San Diego Magazine today and was really excited to see that my photo essay of a day in the life of Chef Carl Schroeder was layed out across 10 pages in the magazine.

Schroeder was a lot of fun to spend the day with and it was amazing to see everything that goes into preparing a gourmet meal.

Here are some of my favorites from the shoot, as well as the beautiful spread from the folks at SD Mag.

I spent Monday aboard a tuna boat and at a local fish wholesaler for Bloomberg News.

San Diego used to be a huge hub for tuna canneries but these days, doesn't get nearly as many offloads from fishermen.

This particular boat was from McAdam's Fish LLC and had been fishing down off Clipperton Island, a possession of France.

The company says they had the exclusive fishing rights to the area and hauled back tons of tuna.

Back at Catalina Offshore, I watched as the employees sliced and diced some black cod and yellowtail.

It was a fun day, even though I came back smelling a little fishy.

I spent some time wandering around the Tijuana side of the San Ysidro Port of Entry a couple weeks ago to help illustrate immigration stories for Bloomberg.

This is always a hot topic but particularly with the proposed legislation in D.C., it seemed timely to show the border lines and a bit of downtown Tijuana.
