It was this process of exploration that piqued Shepherd\u2019s interest in urban landscapes and led to a long-running fascination with the often passed-over or under-appreciated tableaus of metropolitan life. The serenity and reserved nature of Shepherds photographs are a sharp juxtaposition with the locations they are depicting. Shepherd captures fleeting moments in time, whether a brief moment of tranquility in the perpetual cycle of arrivals and departures on the Toronto Subway system, or the period of time between tenants in commercial buildings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In his new series, Shepherd has turned his lens on the school system, showing gyms, classrooms, lockers and science labs, many of which have not changed in appearance for generations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>November 5-19, 2011<\/strong><br \/>\nOpening: Saturday, November 5, 2-4 pm<\/p>\n<p><strong>BAU-XI PHOTO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In his new series, Shepherd has turned his lens on the school system, showing gyms, classrooms, lockers and science labs, many of which have not changed in appearance for generations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=4343\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4344,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4343"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5622,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4343\/revisions\/5622"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
