In this issue we tap into nostalgia for youth. Though different for each of us, we all feel that intangible pull to the past from time to time, a longing triggered by a song or a smell or a photograph. 

With contributions from eighteen different photographers, including Sally Mann, Dawoud Bey, Mark Steinmetz, and Mike Brodie; an extended Q&A that asks questions about the artists' own memories of being young whilst considering what it takes to capture the feeling of youth through photography; a special Crude Metaphors featuring Jason Lazarus's project NIRVANA which juxtaposes images with answers to the question, ‘Who introduced you to the band NIRVANA?’; plus reviews of four newly release photobooks, this is an issue not to be missed.
