Suburbia is a book by Bill Owens, a photojournalism monograph on suburbia, published in 1973 by Straight Arrow Press, the former book publishing imprint of Rolling Stone. A revised edition was published in 1999 by Fotofolio (ISBN 978-1-881270-40-9).
Owens photographed residents of Dublin, California, a small cattle town east of San Francisco whose population surged from roughly 1,000 to 25,000 during the 1960s.[1] Most of the images are black-and-white, shot with a wide-angle lens, and paired with captions drawn from the subjects' own words.[1]
