Dr. Gary Greenberg takes ordinary bits of sand and photographs them with a microscope. The result is unexpectedly beautiful. Dr. Greenberg says of the project, “Every time I see sand under a microscope, it’s a surprise. It’s like treasure hunting, only the treasures are very small, and they’re not very expensive.” The surprising beauty of grains of sand is a reminder that perspective can affect our whole understanding of something and that we may not always have the full picture until we look closer.
