Dad posed for me in the beautiful morning light, and the picture became part of a series I called <em>At Work<\/em>. Looking at it today, I\u2019m struck by how well those four megapixels have held up. The photograph feels especially poignant now. Lower Seletar would become one of Dad\u2019s favourite photographic haunts in his later years, and several of the images he made there are now on show in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.objectifs.com.sg\/tan-lip-seng-colour\/\">Tan Lip Seng: A Life in Colour<\/a><\/em> at Objectifs.<\/p>\n<p>A photograph from the beginning of my digital journey, of Dad doing what he loved, in a place that would eventually become part of his own photographic story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/seletar060403-0048_r1-2026-63x90.jpg\" alt=\"(Dad) At Work\" width=\"63\" height=\"90\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-3896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/seletar060403-0048_r1-2026.jpg?resize=63%2C90&amp;ssl=1 63w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/seletar060403-0048_r1-2026.jpg?w=499&amp;ssl=1 499w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 63px) 100vw, 63px\" \/>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-expression","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/przUn-10P","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3895"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3895\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3899,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3895\/revisions\/3899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.elcreations.org\/engloy\/photoblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
