The Magnum Square Print Sale is back and this time they have teamed up with Aperture to offer some super affordable prints by some of the world’s top photographers. This is a great chance to get an archival signed or estate stamped print for only $110 USD (plus shipping).

The theme for this sale is “Youth” and features over 100 images that explore the many faces of youth across generations and geographies. It’s about a moment, a memory—a state of becoming. It’s the spark of firsts: the first glance, the first protest, the first fall, the first triumph.

Each photographer is offering an image that encapsulates the theme and there are some stellar images this time around. It’s always difficult to pick my favorite but here are a few that caught my eye!

They grow side by side, like mirrors that almost touch. Between them, a membrane. I was born with a twin — three minutes apart. A and B. For years, it felt like we lived on either side of the same skin. Separate but never truly apart. We were one before we knew what it meant to be two. Maybe that’s why I’m drawn to this image of the twins from Moscow — two young women, so alike it’s almost unsettling. And yet, each holds something private, something just beyond the other’s reach.

Youth is about this kind of moment — a fragile state of becoming, caught between togetherness and individuality.

The Brooklyn Gang series is not really about gangs. It’s about emotionality and tension, abuse and abandonment. Those teenagers were poor and felt invisible. I spent almost a year with them and in return they gave me entrance into their dysfunctional world.

We were on an 8am flight to Brussels so the Sex Pistols could do an interview with the powerful Radio Luxembourg. In spite of the early hour, or because of it, Johnny and Sid were already drinking and in a very good mood. Sitting across the aisle from them I took a few photos and then, pulling back, I included the little girl in front of them. This photo always makes me think there might actually be monsters under your bed, or right behind you!

The images in each sale are always different, and will never be available in this format again.

Let’s face it, Magnum Square Prints are like parking tickets. If you’re not careful you’ll get another one!! I’ve collected quite a few of these tiny prints over the years but that’s not stopping me from wanting a new one every time there’s a sale.

This time I’m loving the Alec Soth shot from Songbook but the Bob Gruen shot of Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious is also calling my name. I might have to get two this time!

…Or maybe three?
