I'm friendly, funny, crazy, down to earth, I would bend over backwards and walk to the ends of the earth for my friends, I'm fiercely loyal, I sing pretty much all day long, I'm an only child and thus have a very active imagination, I swear all the time (but I'm working on that one!), I love to gamble, I give 110% in everything I do, I'm competitive, I love to argue, I have a siamese cat named Samson who I occasionally force to wear a canine turtleneck sweater and lovingly refer to as my puppycat, I have a cesky terrier named Auggie who thinks he runs the show, I drink most of my friends under the table, I'm a guy's girl, I love sports of any kind, I always get invited to join fantasy sports leagues and I usually kick all the boys' asses, I love little hole-in-the-wall type of bars where I can kick back and drink with my friends, I like to play pool (even on the nights where I can't sink a shot), I like to hold the remote control, I love escaping in a good book or a good movie, I'm affectionate, I love to hold hands, I wear my heart on my sleeve, I daydream constantly, I pursue my goals with a vengence, I laugh hard, I love hard, and I play hard.
Born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I am a self-taught photographer with an eye for detail. I got my first camera at age seven and have been shooting obsessively ever since. My aim with all of my photography is to capture simple moments in a way that triggers an emotional response out of the viewer. I combine photography with artistic processing to turn the bits and pieces of every day life into art. I feel blessed to have discovered a creative outlet in which I am both passionate and emotionally invested. Life is in the little details and my goal is to capture as many of those details as possible.

Alana Steinberg says:
"Ali's work is truly stunning.
Every single self portrait that she makes emits creativity and her amazingness. She is an amazing contact, she is always willing to offer her true, honest opinion and she gives great critiques and compliments.
I look forward to seeing her new portraits every day. She inspired me to start a 365.
Thanks again, Ali.
Alana"15th August, 2011

"ali is just...an amazing contact and photographer. i know she's an inspiration to so many of us here on flickr. she's sweet, honest, funny and real. it's crazy how i feel like i know so many people that i've never even physically met!
her selfies, in particular always portray such great emotion and feeling. she's not afraid to put herself out there, thru words or her photos."5th February, 2011

Theresa Benedetto says:
"Well I'm going to first start off by saying Alibubba is pretty much an awesome contact! She has incredible work. I mean what this girl can do with her face, let me tell ya. (: I'm in complete awe with what she does. I always look forward to her uploads. Secondly, she gives great advice and encouraging words. I love seeing her comments. Keep up the good work! (:"

"I've been in complete awe of Ali's photographing and processing skills since discovering her on Flickr many moons ago. She has a style all her own, yet each of her pictures is so completely different and unique. I'm in love with the fact that she can bounce between off-the-wall goofy, strong-willed and intellingent, crazy-scary, classically gorgeous, and stunningly sexy all in the same week.
I love that Ali makes such sacrifices for her photography. She's put countless things on her face, thrown herself in ice-cold lakes, gotten completely GaGa'ed out, and jumped so much it's made MY legs sore :) I adore her many faces and "do's" oh-so much.
Aside from just her amazing talent, I've discovered a wonderful friend in Ali. She is fun, kind-hearted, and dedicated, and just cannot be topped :)"27th November, 2010

Emily Christine. says:
"I cannot believe I've yet to write a testimonial for Ali. She is without a doubt one of my favourite photographers/artists on flickr. Her work with colours and light is amazing, and her face makeup/art is stellar. She is a force to be reckoned with. She is unstoppable and fierce. I'll never forget her creativity and pure loveliness, even through her hard times she never stopped being Ali, and being a friend.
Ali, you're one amazing gal, and I'm absolutely honored to call you a friend, and I hope one day we can meet and go makeup mad. xoxoxo"6th April, 2010

Paguma says:
"I was introduced to Ali about six months ago now. I am so thankful for that introduction because her stream has been a favorite since. Not only is Ali a very talented photographer which is obvious to any observer she also has a great sense of humor and is very playful to watch.
If that's not enough for you, she also is extremely friendly and is just a joy to interact with.
So glad I met her."6th December, 2009

Loca Luna / Anna Gay says:
"It is so terribly difficult to be a self-portrait artist these days. All the cool kids are doing it, and there is so much commotion in the world of SP's, that the majority of them start to look the same after a while.
That's not the case with Ali, though! Her SP's are some of the most original I've ever seen, and she has a taken a popular style (vintage/retro) and made it *completely* her own.
There is something really intimate about her SP's - something really captivating in the way she sees herself, and the way she presents herself to the world.
She is a very skilled photographer, and her other, non SP's are just as cool and quirky as everything else she posts on Flickr. She really is a unique and gifted individual, so I promise you will not be disappointed as you look through her stream. She is an absolute delight!"17th September, 2009

"Ali is such a great Flickr friend. She is beautiful inside and out!! I love her stream and her amazing ideas. Her stream is one of my favorites because it's always something new and fresh. I don't think Ali has ever been in a rut and if she has, she fools everyone!"

"Ali was one of the first people I met upon joining Flickr and starting my 365. She is always there with a kind comment or advice and suggestions if I need it. Her photos inspire me on a daily basis. She has developed her own style of photography that I absolutely adore. I don't think anyone compares to Ali when it comes to sticking stuff on their face! Her stream is always one of the first ones I check when I log in and I look forward everyday to her photos. Thank you for being an amazing Flickr friend Ali! Free salsa lessons anytime... ;)"

WILL★REFUSE says:
"The term Cross Processed is a one thrown around a lot these days by people who don't truly understand what it really is. Ali is not, I repeat NOT one of those people. Her work is truly remarkable and original. She has that unique talent of being able to shoot and process photos that are different, but at the same time tied together with her own style. I absolutely love her attitude and her work. Simply amazing."

Feeling Croppy says:
"No one knows how to be photographically intimate with stickers and candy and googly eyes the way Alibubba does. No one!!! She is an inventive photographer with loads of creativity and a self-proclaimed addiction to cross processing. Ali is always fun and silly in the lake or on land and I look forward to what next she will stick to her face or cleavage. Love you, my friend!! xoxox"

"Alibubba is truly an amazing photographer. She masters all different kind of styles: macros, landscapes and amazing (self)portraits. The colours in her shots are always beautiful and then suddenly she is able to surprise with a stunning B&W. I just love her stream!"

"This girl is unbelievably flexible in what she can do. Despite being the absolutely master of sticking stuff to her face she can do outdoorsies perfectly and plays with light like its her best friend. She also puts in a tonne of effort with all her pictures and never seems to have a down day. I'm constantly amazed by her creativity and talent. Oh, and her dog is pretty damn cute too. Please keep it up miss bubba."

"Ok i can't believe no one has written a testimonial yet!! I'll take firsts though :) Gladly.
I just want to express how awesome of an artist i think Ali is, every shot she takes is completely obvious how deep her artistic mind goes. Her talent spews out of every picture i see. (Don't believe me check how many of her pictures i have favorited :O)
I just recently found her stream and i am so glad i did, because not only did i find an awesome photographer/artist, but behind the camera is a really cool chick too!! Everyone needs to check her out for shizzo ;o)
