Photographer Dave Engledow, the "World's Best Father"
Photographer Dave Engledow calls himself the "World's Best Father," and he's got the pictures to prove it.
Since the birth of his daughter, his photos feature Dave and Alice (now 8) and his signature trophy mug. Together, they're behind more than 150 photos and three books.
Late for Work
"I liked the idea of having the ironic superlative of the 'world's best father' mug in all the pictures, while at the same time doing things that I personally was trying to avoid doing as a new father," Engledow told "Sunday Morning" correspondent Nikki Batiste.

The snapshots serve as a reminder for all dads out there, as Engledow said: "My own biggest fear as a parent is being distracted, you know, staring at my phone or the television and missing her growing up. A lot of the photographs [are] a reminder to myself, like, to put the phone down and watch the kid grow up. I don't always achieve that goal, but that's one of my goals."
