Cary Hazlegrove's "An Island Life"

What is Nantucket like in the winter? In the fall? In every season that isn't summer? These are some of the questions nationally recognized, island photographer Cary Hazlegrove answers with her camera in "An Island Life" - a short film of her photos set to music. Hazlegrove organized the beautiful and slightly stoic photos according to aerial shots, photos of special events, images of seasons and then of people. The film plays at the Starlight every Mon. - Fri. at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. She began these "glorified yearbooks" in the late 70s, and continued making them for 30 years before going on hiatus to raise her daughter, who's now 10. "Nantucket's changed since I started these, but I can still find my spot of green," Hazlegrove said. "Even when there is so much rampant building, the core people who live here and call Nantucket home year-round make Nantucket an incredibly special place for those who choose to live and work here."
