I guess wait a week and we'll fund out.

So You Think You're Having A Bad Day?

 

The Kiss Of Life

Background story:

Photographer Rocco Morabito was in Jacksonville, Florida, when he caught sight of an electric company lineman who had been electrocuted and was clearly dangling from the pole.

Rocco quickly captured the moment before calling an ambulance. The unconscious man was soon rescued as another lineman climbed to give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

This was when Rocco got the shot that won him the prize for spot news.

Tragedy By The Sea

Evident in this photograph is the pain that accompanies the loss of a child.

When this photo was captured on April 2, 1954, the McDonald family had just realized that their 19-month-old son Michael had drowned in the Hermosa Beach surf in California.

Los Angeles Times photographer John L. Grant, won the 1955 Pulitzer Prize for this photo.

Last Rites of Jose Rodriquez

Following the successful Cuban Revolution from 1953 to 1959 championed by Fidel Castro against the authoritarian government of Fulgencio Batista came the execution of thousands of Batista's soldiers.

Including Jose Rodriguez, whose final moments receiving his last rites have been captured in this photograph.

He was executed by firing squad after this picture - which won the 1960 Pulitzer Prize - was taken.

The Human Condition

This picture that shows refugees crossing a broken bridge during the Korean War went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1951.

These images showed the suffering and lives of war-torn victims, soldiers, and refugees.

This particular one shows North Koreans crossing the freezing Taedong River by holding onto broken pillars and rails of a damaged bridge. 

No Introduction Needed

Except maybe for Rod's wife, Alena....

And I Guess Not That Bad A Day

This little guy was stopped by the friendly cop from running into the middle of a busy parade and maybe hurting himself.

This won the 1957 Pulitzer Prize for just being kind of a feel good story.

Compared to a lot of the other dramatic - and often disturbing - Pulitzer Prize winners......

Great Cost Saving Idea!

 

Who needs expensive gravestones or urns when an 8 1/2 x 11 foolscap and some tape will do? 

Brilliant!

Hmmmm....Shouldn't They Be In A Highrise?

 

Not sure I'll be buying an elevator from these guys.
