Streets are narrow to control speed, and shaded by trees to protect pedestrians.<br />* Pedestrian-centric design: Buildings are placed close to the street to cater to foot traffic, with parking lots relegated to the back.<br />* Close schools and workplaces: Schools and workplaces are close enough that most residents can walk from their homes.<br /><br />They even have a page of <a href="http://www.walkscore.com/how-it-doesnt-work.shtml">“How it doesn’t work”</a> <br /><br /><br />www.walkscore.com

During the past 15 years he has traveled to all 7 continents and even included a trip to the North Pole aboard a Russian nuclear icebreaker. His interests have included visiting hill tribes in Asia, nomadic tribes in Africa, and touring in India and other Himalayan countries. A desire to document these travel experiences sparked his enthusiasm in photography. His interest in photographing other cultures eventually broadened to travel and outdoor photography, or as Larry describes it, "photographing images of the natural world."<br /><br />Larry has specialized in photographing people, wildlife and landscapes. He has studied and toured with some of the best-known documentary and nature photographers in the field. His images have been sold to corporations, private collectors and travel publications. He currently has an exhibit scheduled to open at the Illinois Institute of Technology in the fall of 2004 and has completed an installation of wildlife photography at the Childrens Memorial Hospital Outpatient Clinic.<br /><br />Larry's people photography captures the human side of foreign cultures and tribes.

But even more important was his trusty Quickset Pan and Tilt. Broutman, a professional photographer working on his second educational media project for the Lincoln Park Zoo’s Regenstein African Journey exhibit, spent much of April photographing the migration of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles. This migration is a constant, cyclical movement between Kenya and Tanzania. It follows the rain and birth cycles, carrying herds south from Kenya into the Serengeti in the springtime. When he arrived, Broutman was greeted by millions of wildebeests, among them the new calves, born just this February. It was a truly awesome sight to see.<br /><br />While there were many anxious photographers roaming the African plains hoping for the perfect shot, none went about it quite like Broutman. Because of the mostly flat topography of the Serengeti, he thought it would be ideal to have the benefit of elevation in his work. He wanted a 40-foot telescoping mast attached to his truck, allowing for mobility and the unique aerial perspective he sought. He mounted a digital camera atop a pan and tilt, linked to the ground by a video feed that would be his eyes. From the shelter of his truck, Broutman was able to maneuver the camera through an incredible range of shot angles and to capture the still photographs onto his laptop. These photos can be seen as part of the zoo’s African Journey, delighting and educating visitors from all over the world.</i><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQl48C9U42aZVNxMrwuxhtt-ygkXUz7KxW4xJqJfjD69DAUsWqZrZ0xzJxxJVx5KFu7OEIJ942SG5RAFlybrhxGByg7ioH9J91xFPt9CfX4V-wl4pmeHje5B1SXwJ50kB9zR8dbYwzMVMV/s1600-h/wildebeastquickset.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092676502664676594" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQl48C9U42aZVNxMrwuxhtt-ygkXUz7KxW4xJqJfjD69DAUsWqZrZ0xzJxxJVx5KFu7OEIJ942SG5RAFlybrhxGByg7ioH9J91xFPt9CfX4V-wl4pmeHje5B1SXwJ50kB9zR8dbYwzMVMV/s400/wildebeastquickset.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 228px; height: 296px;" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfAv6dQfLNSaR9y7RvCR0D48nEw2PuZUxZeh6WZeb0fAKOCxXr44Wy4ME5OMx7Bh9e2uqrn61mMKLfFGxu5rcQEMAT0jWP2Hvu_ml9e6XadCEpzKXvrURnUHaxg4vlplabq2XL0jIayIFU/s1600-h/Picture+4.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5092661831056393266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfAv6dQfLNSaR9y7RvCR0D48nEw2PuZUxZeh6WZeb0fAKOCxXr44Wy4ME5OMx7Bh9e2uqrn61mMKLfFGxu5rcQEMAT0jWP2Hvu_ml9e6XadCEpzKXvrURnUHaxg4vlplabq2XL0jIayIFU/s400/Picture+4.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 297px;" /></a><br />Above left: the quick-set tripod in use by Larry, shown on the right<br /><br /><br /><b>BIO</b><br />Larry began his professional career as a professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago.

Weary of glass fittings hanging crooked, they decided: no more glass, sheet metal is the right material! Both had made the acquaintance of designer Börge Lindau and their confidence in him was so great that they decided to start their own business if Börge would join them as designer. Börge was convinced by the bold idea and said he would support them with his interest and skills. When the newly formed company was christened, it was Börge who suggested the name Zero.<br /><br />In view of the very small resources, Börge felt that the choice of materials for the first lights was very important if they were to be noticed and considered innovative. So he suggested that perforated sheet metal would be suitable. The choice of material proved so successful that practically the entire range for the first 10 years consisted of various fittings in different types of perforated sheet metal.<br /><br />After moving the business from the garage, wharf and attic, they gradually rented premises in an old industrial estate in the centre of Nybro. Here there was room for the company which after some years began to expand quickly. When Börge established his own furniture company, Blå Station, Zero began their long-term, forward-looking and still ongoing collaboration with Per Sundstedt. He wanted to start designing glass fittings as he was tired of metal. Today Zero's range is dominated by various glass fittings designed by Per Sundstedt!<br /><br />In 1989, Zero acquired the Pukeberg Glassworks and its premises. Pukeberg Glassworks in Nybro was started in 1871 and for many years was owned by the Böhlmarks Lampfabrik in Stockholm. Böhlmarks began by producing paraffin lamps but as time went on became an important manufacturer of electrical light fittings. They bought the glass for the paraffin lamps from Pukeberg and quickly became the Glassworks' largest customer. At the beginning of the 1900s, Böhlmarks had begun to work with artists and now they had an opportunity to start designing Pukeberg glassware. It is interesting to note that the first designers, Harald Notini and Uno Westerberg, were both interior designers. Göran Wärff joined them as an architecture student to practice on a new building in Pukeberg and was afterwards employed as a designer as he was an excellent draughtsman.<br /><br />Of all designers who began their careers at Pukeberg, perhaps Eva Englund is still the most famous. She joined the company as a graduate from art college and succeeded Göran Wärff who had joined Kosta. Eva, who returned to Pukeberg after a long career at Orrefors, here created some of her greatest successes including Malakit and Indigo. In the last years of her life she created some of her most fantastic Graal pieces.<br /><br />The tradition of lighting production returned to Pukeberg when Zero brought Pukeberg in 1989. The year before Zero had started a subsidiary, the Lustrum furniture company, and it now appears that Böhlmarks too was making tubular steel furniture in the 30's. The circle really is complete!<br /><br />Today Pukeberg's q-marked glassworks is a famous tourist attraction. Here you can watch glass manufacture and visit a glass museum. There are treasures to be found in the shop, or visit Zero's and Lustrum's exhibitions. The old grindery has been renovated and in September 2002 became the home for Designline at Kalmar University. This should guarantee that both vision and tradition will live on and continue their exciting meeting at Pukeberg!<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikpNka0sBrm1Gi4VMTflBFd99XR6aNK2xtcFC521UT8D70XDr49vrM_lzlgQTv629PVmhNTzhG0CquDBbaWdv-1BFW4d4SI5XGTtm3JRwIDU08CMVb4y-Ig3SXl22xhummJih2UfDOd2FC/s1600-h/zero.gif"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5090955870046421778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikpNka0sBrm1Gi4VMTflBFd99XR6aNK2xtcFC521UT8D70XDr49vrM_lzlgQTv629PVmhNTzhG0CquDBbaWdv-1BFW4d4SI5XGTtm3JRwIDU08CMVb4y-Ig3SXl22xhummJih2UfDOd2FC/s400/zero.gif" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><span><a href="http://www.zero.se/">http://www.zero.se/</a><br /></span>
