From the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), a profile of 98 year old photographer Thelma Pepper.
I recommend you set aside 25 min and listen to the linked documentary produced by David Gupnik.

From the article:

Thelma Pepper didn't pick up a camera until she was 60. But in the four decades since then, she has published four books of photography, and her work has been exhibited widely.

Pepper, 98, has dedicated her late-found career to capturing the lives of Saskatchewan farm wives, residents of rural Prairie communities and seniors in nursing homes — people often overlooked by society.

She said:
I think if you find something you love, it's just so exciting. You can develop that later in life. Your brain is a bowl of energy. If you activate that creativity, it gives you energy.
