THE CAMERAMAN IN CLOGS: ALWAYS ROLLING
by Jeff Schwartz
After five decades filming everyone from Muhammad Ali to homeless veterans, Jeff Schwartz finally puts down the camera and picks up a pen.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Cameraman in Clogs: Always Rolling is the story of a cameraman who spent fifty years capturing moments most people never see and what he discovered when he finally stepped out from behind the lens.
From New York weddings to Hollywood movie sets. From Sing Sing prison to Hawaii’s tent cities. Schwartz documented lives and events most of us only glimpse on screen.
But the book is not just about what he saw.
It’s about what happens when you spend a lifetime watching instead of living, and what it takes to finally put the camera down.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Jeff Schwartz spent fifty years as a cameraman and director of photography, filming everything from corporate productions and celebrity interviews to documentaries about people society had forgotten.
Known as “The Cameraman in Clogs” after an Achilles injury that left him working in open-backed clogs, Schwartz filmed U.S. Presidents, worked behind the scenes on major movie sets, and spent twenty-five years producing documentaries about people living on society’s margins.
He retired in 2025 and lives in New York.
