You know I almost got into a fight with my physics prof over this one because he just kept saying "light has no relative point of view" and although he frustrated me at the time, technically he was correct. Since the very definition of light says it moves at the speed of light in every reference frame it simply can't have a reference frame of its own. By being stubborn he forced me to rethink my perspective on what light actually was, and I stopped thinking of it as a magical ball of stuff that moves through space like a bullet that eventually hits something.

Indeed the "perspective" of a photon would be a strange one...but mostly because the universe would look so difference that the idea of "photon" would no longer have meaning.
