Hi Mark

The photon is everywhere at the same time. (space is contracted)
so its point of view is that it is always at point A and at point B.

The stationary observer says that the photon is moving at the speed of
light and so takes time to go from A to B but that the person on the photon
has a clock that has stopped so no wonder the photon person thinks he is
everywhere at the same time.
