If you're talking about the "vector potential" traditionally denoted by "A",
then you must be using the word "information" in a nonstandard way.  If not,
then what ARE you talking about?

What is the evidence for this picture?  It seems rather complicated.

I don't think a photon in transit can be considered localized anyhow..
