It shouldn't be a problem to move several photon images individually within your loop. One way to achieve this would be to take the coordinate calculation out of the animation loop. So in a first step run a loop for each photon you want to animate that just calculates the coordinates. So each photon can run at it's own path, speed etc.. You just have to make sure that all arrays in the end contain the same number of coordinates. In a second step you actually run the animation, taking the coordinates for each photon from its coordinate array.
