A photon is like a train, having a locomotive positron and caboose
electron (or vice-versa).

If going towards the original source of a photon makes it's caboose
detect sooner rather than later, rather than the same as though
everything were standing still, then by rights if that photon source
is headed towards the receiving eye or detector should also cause its
caboose to arrive sooner rather than later.

This causes wave compression or expansion depending on those +/-
velocity factors.
