The Kiss Of Life
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
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
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......
