99 Moons is a series of cameraless silver gelatin prints made in the darkroom. The title of the series loosely references the 19th-century printmaker Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's One Hundred Aspects of the Moon woodblock print series. However, the number 99 was chosen for its historical fluidity, sometimes considered "as good as forever" or infinite.
