Photons and reference



This may sound a stupid question but I can't get an answer.

What is the speed that a photon measures itself in its own reference?

Every book says that the speed of a photon in an inertial frame of
reference is always c. So does the photon measures itself c or is this
the only exception where the measured speed of a photon is zero?

Thanks for any explanation,

Bruno
