The photo is Ed Moody, Pumpkin Sculptor by John Clement Howe, part of his nifty set of photos titled The Pumpkin Sculptor of Frankfort (which was updated with more photos today!). Ed is something of a legend in northern Michigan, sculpting over 11,000 lbs of pumpkins for his home display in 2005. His web site pumpkined.com features lots of photos of pumpkins he's carved and says that:

Ed started to carve pumpkins when he was about 6 years old. He didn't start sculpting smaller pumpkins until 15 years ago and graduated to giant pumpkins 7 years ago when his 5 year dream of carving a Cinderella pumpkin came true with his purchase of a 590 lb. pumpkin. He is now known for his Cinderella carriage pumpkin every year.
