Last year my neighbor Ed moved to a sheltered accommodation. After his divorce he lived a single life for 34 years (but in his own words: I had no complaints about female attention and company). I, like many others in Zandvoort, know him as the tall man with the big white moustache. For my project ‘Fish Discover Water Last’ I asked him permission to take a portrait. So we got acquainted and kept in touch. Ed has led a rich life full of adventure. He sat for years in the merchant navy and sailed around the world. Wherever he went, he enjoyed himself pretty good. After his sailing adventures, he returned to the catering sector and for a long time he owned a disco bar. Ed is always relaxed and takes life as it comes. In that respect he is an example for me. Earlier this year, during some visits, I took pictures at his new home.
