Light travels with respect to the medium in which it propagates. Light travels at 'c' with respect to the aether.

A photon doesn't behave as a particle that is emitted from a particular point in three dimensional space relative to a frame of reference. A photon propagates outward at 'c' with respect to the aether as a wave.
