THE STORY

Mel Brooks gave him a blessing. Keith Richards left him a souvenir. Gerald Ford asked for his opinion. Muhammad Ali rope-a-doped him. Al Pacino threw him off a movie set. A runaway blimp nearly carried him into the Empire State Building.

Surprised. Arrested. Scammed. Damned.

Those are some of the stories.

Jeff Schwartz followed the camera wherever it led, from movie sets and Super Bowls to prison yards, homeless shelters, recording studios, fashion runways, and villages halfway around the world.

He met presidents, celebrities, athletes, veterans, trafficking survivors, prisoners, and ordinary people living extraordinary lives.

But this isn't a book about the remarkable people Jeff met. It's about what they taught him.

Moments of humor. Kindness. Courage. Failure. Grace.

The moments he carried home.

Looking back, Jeff realized every shoot left him with something far more lasting than the footage he brought home.

His family taught him to be in it.

The Cameraman in Clogs: Always Rolling is a memoir told through interconnected stories of adventure, access, and unexpected humanity.

Funny, surprising, heartbreaking, and deeply personal, it reveals how Jeff spent a lifetime documenting others without realizing those stories were quietly bringing his own life into focus.
