Anti-Aliasing the Streetlights | ||||||
While Doc Johnson and I were growing up in Baltimore, he used to come up with those wonderful nicknames for different streetlights. The following is a list of the nicknames that the Freak came up with and what luminaires they refer to. By the way, I was the first to call Doc the Streetlight Freak, and he inspired me to get into the world of streetlighting. Thanks for the memories! And now on to the nicknames and my antialiasing of each one of the luminaires: |
