Is there a way to access the FaceTime iPad camera through code?

I'm using the following to take a photo on an iPad:

myimage = photos.capture_image()

But that always accesses the iSight camera (the one on the back of the iPad). For the purposes of my program I'd like to access the other camera every time. I realize that the user can click the camera swap button, but I'd rather skip that step since the intent of the program is to take a photo of the user every time.

Suggestions?

Nothing, huh? No way to do this?
