The Photography of Grant Groberg

We live each day immersed in an ocean of light. Photons vibrating at every frequency imaginable, traveling in all directions. Some of the photons are stopped and absorbed others are reflected and imprinted by the reflective surface. The tiniest portion of these photons happen to be moving along the correct vectors into our eyes bringing with them the imprint of their last reflection, enabling us to "see" this world and all of it's loveliness.

Photons are fascinating. 'Wavicles.' Perhaps a particle, perhaps a wave, it all depends upon how you are considering them at the time. They are emitted and absorbed by electrons and protons. Within one model of atomic structure is this photon exchange that binds electrons to the nucleus of an atom. But the realm of photography deals not with the exchange between subatomic particles, rather the grand display of what we perceive as color, light and shadow that greets us each time we open our eyes.
