Loke Hong Seng (b. 1943) was working as a radio announcer with Radio Television Singapore in the 1960s when he picked up photography and subsequently grew to specialize in street photography. His images of 1960s and 1970s Singapore offer a candid view of everyday life in the early days of the nation’s development. This photograph shows a vegetable farm at Potong Pasir, contrasted against new developments in the background, signaling a time of resettlement and redevelopment taking place in Singapore.
