Error 403 because Google Cloud Vision client points to wrong project

I'm trying to work through the Google Cloud Vision Pyhon example but I'm getting an authentication error.

This is not my only Google Cloud project, and my GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable is set to the path to my bigquery project. I thought I could override this by using this statement:

client = vision.ImageAnnotatorClient.from_service_account_json(key_path)

where key_path is the path of the json key file associated with my (Cloud Vision API-enabled) vision project. However, I'm getting the 403 error from this

response = client.label_detection(image=image)

Apparently, even though I specified the key file path for the ImageAnnotatorClient, it still looks at my bigquery project's credentials and spits the dummy because there is no vision API enabled for it.

Do I really have to change the environment variable every time I change the project?

It seems that the Cloud Vision project ID does not propagate to the Python environment from either the Cloud Console or the credentials file. I fixed the reference using the Cloud Console:

gcloud config set project my_vision_project

The label_detection call works now.
