“Kiss of Life”

Taken in 1967 by Rocco Morabito, this is one of the most powerful photographs we’ve seen.  It shows a utility worker named J.D. Thompson giving mouth-to-mouth to co-worker Randall G. Champion after he went unconscious following contact with a high voltage line.  It occurred in Jacksonville, Florida.  Champion survived thanks to Thompson’s efforts to resuscitate him.  The photo was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1968.
