There is something that keeps this from happening Eric. As you speed up from your frame of reference toward what you perceive as the frame of rest of the photon you will never catch up to it. It will always appear to be moving at the speed of light relative to you.
As you move faster in the direction the photon is traveling, it becomes red shifted more and more. This appears to occur forever as you speed up. The conclusion is that the photon can not have a frame of reference that is at zero velocity. I suppose you could think of the frame of reference of the photon as being when it becomes a static magnetic or electric field. In that case it is no longer a photon.

One question I have -- is there anything keeping them from being considered at rest within their own frame of reference? Eric
