Taken in 1967 by Rocco Morabito, this is one of the most powerful photographs we’ve seen. Called the Kiss of Life photo, 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.
This occurred in my hometown, Jacksonville, FL, USA. Champion survived, thanks to Thompson’s efforts to resuscitate him. The photo was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1968.
