## Caption

Introducing MOON DUST – a collection of images shot over four years by photographer photosbyrobertleblanc documenting Hotshot Firefighters in Montana and California. 

The August Complex wildfire of 2020, which is currently the largest wildfire in California History, burned throughout the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Mendocino National Forest, and Six Rivers National Forest. The wildfire burned for a total of three months, scorching 1,032,648 acres. Rarely do photographers gain intimate access to Hotshot crews while on remote wildfires. 

The images in MOON DUST give an intimate vision of what it’s like battling such an unpredictable natural disaster and how these firefighters risk their lives every day. This amazing book was brought to life not only by LeBlanc’s creative eye but monsterenergy as well. All proceeds of book sales will be donated to the ericmarshfoundationfire
, us_hotshots, and MYSTERY RANCH Backbone Series Scholarship.  

"I’ve spent a fair amount of time in dodgy situations by virtue of spending my life behind a camera. But there is nothing that compares to being up close to a wildfire. It’s humbling, terrifying, and entrancing all at the same time." - photosbyrobertleblanc
 
A special thank you to Robert LeBlanc for capturing how these firefighters put their lives on the line.
