OK, let's say more physically correct then ;-) I don't know, something 
that conserves energy, for a start :-)

Starting at the camera and not at the light source is no big deal to me. 
What matters is finding a path joining the light to the camera. Starting 
from the camera or the light is purely a matter of what's more practical...
