"At 87, art photographer Robert Osborn doesn't particularly care for the word "retired." He told Business Insider that the label doesn't stick for him because he has continued working well beyond the time most people leave their jobs to retire. The octogenarian from Livingston, Montana, his motto of "do you what you love, do it brilliantly and everthing else will take care of itself" has served him well because it's kept him enthusiastic, and curious."
"He described how looking at beautiful things through the lens brought him a sense of calm and control. "I still remember that first click of the camera," he said. The moment led to a lifelong passion for photography. It was initially a hobby while he worked in various fields, including as an engineer in the fire department and a magazine publisher, but it evolved into his main occupation. He specializes in portraits of Native American Indians who live on reservations and cowboys."
