T Magazine: Site to Be Seen | An Artistic Armchair Travel Platform That Visits the World’s Most Amazing Places

Written By Unknown on Senin, 06 Januari 2014 | 17.35

Growing up in rural Maine, the brothers Darrell and Oliver Hartman learned to love the outdoorsy, adventurous life from their dad, who was the director of the state's parks. Trips in early adulthood to places like Greece, Nicaragua and India ensured their passion for wanderlust, as did the jobs they pursued: Darrell, 32, is a lifestyle and travel writer; Oliver, 30, is a director for the production company North. Last year, the pair decided to combine talents to create a website that celebrates the kind of travel they like to do.

The platform, Jungles in Paris, offers curated, artistic documentary shorts and photo slideshows to draw attention to the world's most unique (and sometimes endangered) phenomena and lesser-known terrain. A quiet, enigmatic film of Uzbekistan's Aral Sea, almost entirely drained by Soviet-era infrastructure projects, captures the unlikely beauty of a dry ocean landscape. A selection of photographs presents the geisha tradition in Japan, emphasizing the centuries-old performance element and untangling the profession from its pop culture associations.

The Hartmans shoot some of the material, and rely on their own social network of photographers, filmmakers and journalists around the world to provide additional stories. Their influences, they say, include the documentary filmmakers Werner Herzog and Robert Gardner, the writer Peter Matthiessen and the behavioral scientists Jared Diamond and Robert Sapolsky. "Part of us wants to celebrate the place," Oliver says, "but then another part is celebrating the people who take the time to document it." In 2014, the brothers are planning adventures in Jamaica, Wyoming and Peru.
