 Think of a laser. Emitting photons, or radiation. All with the same spin?
 

My own idea about photons:
a photon is kind of 'wave-packet'.
It has a certain helical form and is like an electron, but in motion.
Actually if you would stop a photon, by e.g. a metal plate, you would get an electron.
Or you could make an electron 'roll away' and it will become a photon.
This could be done by 'smashing' the electron against an obstacle, which would free that electron from its position.
The idea behind this explanation stems from my 'book' about 'structured spacetime':

In this electrons and protons are not real particles, but certain 'timelike stable patterns'.
The electron and the proton are essentially 'one piece' (commonly called 'atom') and denote certain aspects of a 'standing rotation wave', where the electron is the outer turning point and the proton the inner.
If you 'kick' this structure, it would 'roll away', hence would make photons out of electrons.
But the opposite is also possible, which is known as 'photo-electric-effect'.
