From time to time I feel myself losing faith in the human race. Aside from the atrocities that we inflict on one another, it seems that people have become more concerned with material things and high regard in society than doing something they are truly passionate about. Then I meet people like Daniel, pictured here playing his guitar in Washington Park, who choose to remove themselves from the race for the best gadgets and most expensive "toys" and focus on the simple pleasures. Daniel, 25, travels throughout Colorado and plays all-ages shows at various small venues. He doesn't charge admission, but does accept donations which usually go to charity. Listening to him play and sing, it is hard to deny the obvious talent this man has. I find it refreshing that he obviously realizes his talent and chooses to use it purely to do good for others, rather than himself.
I wonder sometimes if he's the last of a dying breed.
