digital description: 
Bill Owens began photographing while taking a visual anthropology course in college. He continued his systematic observation of human behavior and social structures as a staff photographer for a local newspaper and in personal photographic projects shot on the weekends. <em>Leisure </em>was the fourth such project, begun in the 1970s but not published in book form until 2004.
