"KISS OF LIFE"


Have you seen this picture before? Over the years i  thought that this is a damm sexy picture. Till i found out the truth of this picture. Kinda ashamed that i perceive it that way.

1967 award-winning photo entitled "Kiss of Life" showed a utility worker, J.D. Thompson, suspended on a utility pole and giving mouth to mouth resuscitation to a fellow lineman, Randall G. Champion, who was unconscious and hanging upside down after contacting a high voltage line. Champion survived and lived until 2002, when he died of heart failure at the age of 64. Thompson is still living.
Photo taken by Rocco Morabito (November 2, 1920 – April 5, 2009)[1] was an American photographer who spent the majority of his career at theJacksonville Journal.
