Bill Owens may be America’s best-known photographer of suburban life. In his seminal 1972 book Suburbia, he documented the places where America lives, celebrating the ‘burbs and their residents with a patriotic delight … while maintaining an ironic distance that keeps his work relevant today.

“What I like about this is there’s nobody watching the parade. It’s just the people having a parade. Everybody participates so they just walked down the street and walk back, and in ten minutes it’s over.”
