A shadowy self-portrait of and by Ed Buziak in front of a hidden folly in the grounds of the Palladian style Chiswick House, West London (UK)... taken with a Hasselblad SWC "super-wide" camera of the type used by US astronauts on the Moon. Coupled to a fabled 38mm Zeiss Biogon the camera is a current classic having been in continuous production basically unchanged for more than 50 years.
