The Invisible People of Denver

Denver Post

But sometimes, hope is only a rumor, an illusion, just as the young man in this photograph considers the future of himself and of his illusion. This picture was shot in one of Denver's boarding homes where more and more young people are making their homes. They have been abandoned by family and friends and have little to form the basis of hope.
