His is among a series of inspiring photographs which capture parental love for a child in a way that will have you wishing it was your dad behind the camera.
As mothers and fathers neared fist-fights in department stores for this year's must-have seasonal costumes, the more creative of parents got to work, demonstrating that homegrown often really is best.

Carter has spina bifida and is wheelchair-bound. But like any young American boy, Halloween features high on his social calendar.
His costume encompasses his chair, making him the driver of 'Buster's ice cream truck'.

Carter's photo was the first to be published in what has become an internet sensation of accessible (and amazing) Halloween costumes.
'Best. Dad. Ever. I shed a tear for this one,' one Reddit user commented.
'Not only will he be going trick-or-treating, but his costume is way cooler than what the other kids will have. Win on the dad's part,' said another.
Since the photo of Carter went live last October, other parents have followed suit, decorating their children in an array of creative costumes.

Another had his chair transformed into a DJ deck to fulfill his dream as a music maker.
Other highlights included a girl in a pirate ship, another driving a Flintstones-style chair, and one dress as Pee-wee Herman.
