Matinee: Yellowstone's Winter with Raul Touzon
27 February 2021
Saturday matinees long ago let us escape from the ordinary world to the island of the Swiss Family Robinson or the mutinous decks of the Bounty. Why not, we thought, escape the usual fare here with Saturday matinees of our favorite photography films?
So we're pleased to present the 385th in our series of Saturday matinees today: Yellowstone's Winter with Raul Touzon.
In this 7:44 video, Raul Touzon is our guide into the national park at a time when visitors are few and the residents are bold. He sees the two biggest bucks he's ever seen, a herd of Pronthonrns, four coyotes in one day and herds of bison to say nothing of the "rivers of fog, waterfalls of magnificence and geysers reaching for the sky."
He captures these both in video and stills, showing one after the other, neither the poorer for the other.
Touzon is a documentary and natural history photographer who has photographed the Northwest Passage, Franz Josef Land in the Russian Arctic, the Sea of Okhotsk, the Ross Sea in Antarctica and the fjords of eastern Greenland for Time, U.S. News, The New York Times, National Geographic Traveler and the National Geographic Magazine.
"I would never get tired of this universe," he writes. "I feel welcomed, a citizen of winter wonderland. Let the images speak for themselves and inspire future visitors to get immersed in the most amazing park in the world."
