The stories behind the front page images.
Every time you visit alibullock.com you will see a different image on the front page. The idea behind this was to give the viewer a different perspective each time and show off some of my very best photos. This is this is the story behind each one.
In order to be considered for the front page the image has to be one of my best but also one that work well in a black and white format. While it never easy to pick, some of the best are here for your enjoyment.

A cold day in late Jan, 2007. I was freezing and managing to be miserable and happy at the weather at the same time. It doesn't often snow in London, so this was a great chance to take some photos.

One of my all time favourite photos of Caz - Taken in 2007 over her birthday week-end in Padstow where she was attending Rick Stein's fish school. Loved the place so much we named our dog after the town. |

A lucky shot of Padstow staying still. Combine the great texture of the boat that he is sitting on and I felt that this was a shot that had to appear on the front page. |

A shot of Ivy and a personal favourite that I think looks good enough to make it to the front page. |

An old police box hanging on a building long since vacated as a home. The box was still in good condition and seemed to reflect a time long since passed now that we have mobiles and computers. |

This is a photo from Trinidad in Cuba. I took this over new year as the sun was setting on an old pier. It summed up the beauty of Cuba, yet showed how poor the place really is. |

Another photo from Cuba and one of my favourites - These guys were just talking and laughing in the street. I took this photo from a very low angle to emphasise the dog. |

A classic view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I spent a long time looking for a different angle that other tourists would not have, and I think I succeeded fairly well with this shot. |
