Each of the scenes in Bill Owen's famous Suburbia series, document a world and a time that most of us can only recall through Winnie Cooper, Kevin Arnold and the Wonder Years. The images depict a culturally vacuous, middle-class suburban California in 1972 and became known worldwide as the classic photographic description of the American suburban dream.
It was a time of the Vietnam War, the re-election of Nixon, Watergate and the birth of Pong. To put the series together, Owens shot on every Saturday for an entire year (52 weeks) documenting typical family events like Christmas, Thankgiving, 4th of July, Birthday etc. An interesting and nostalgic look at another time.
