I think it has more to do with massive objects warping space and the photon
follows the warped space.   As far as mass goes, when an electron
drops to a lower 'orbit' and thus looses energy as a photon the atom
shouldn't loose mass, only energy in this case, so the photon shouldn't
need to have mass (this is my logic, as flawed as it is).  This would not
preclude the photon energy from being converted to a minuscule amount of
mass later.

Off of the ATM topic, but fun
