I know its not as easy as saying to glue nano-cameras to photons. Please consider the following extract (related to Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle) from the Modern's abc of Chemistry:
...to observe the position of the electron accurately, light of appropriately small wavelength should be used. But the photons of radiations of smaller wavelength will have higher momentum ($p=h/\lambda$). When even a single photon of this light used to observe the position of electron strikes against it, a large amount of momentum will be transferred to the electron at the time of collision. This will change the velocity of the electron and consequently will result into greater uncertainty in velocity or momentum......
If a single photon of light can transfer a large amount of momentum to a particle of mass like electron, can we create sticky femto-cameras with electron like properties (if possible in future) which can stick to photon?
If it is not possible to create sticky nano-cameras or for any other reasons the glue idea doesn't work, atleast can we spread those non-sticky cameras (of electron mass) over the moving photons, so that they can carry them to long distance? It helps us to know what universe is at the far distance.
I have no idea w.r.t particle physics or relativity or even what photon is, what ever I know is that passage. I know there are more difficulties w.r.t this idea, it may be related to creation of those femto-cameras or associating a sticky property to it or any other. I want this concept to be discussed w.r.t whether it is possible that photons can do the job, if we have such femto-cameras.
Sometimes I might have misunderstood, if so pardon me and explain.
