1) Owens uses black and white. His medium appears to be film. His shots are both candid and posed. In the first and last shot Owens is standing near his subject while in the second shot the view is aerial.
2) The theme of these picture are suburbia. The first picture is of a family which indicates the suburban lifestyle and this idea of the American Dream. The second picture of the coveted suburban neighborhood in which everyone wanted to live in at the time, especially when they were starting a family. The last picture shows a stay at home mom taking care of a newborn and a older son.
3) I think these photos show how times used to be with the idea of the American Lifestyle. In the middle you have the lovely neighborhood that everyone wants. Up top you have the dream family with their boat, that just screams perfect. Lastly there is the stay at home mom who's only job is to take care of the kids, keep the house clean and have dinner ready when her husband gets home from work.
