MARV (the Medford Arts Resource Vehicle) introduces “Arts After Dark,” a twice-a-month program showcasing talented area artists. Tonight’s initial installment will feature photographer Liz Campbell-Tompkins on the topic “Bugs? Why? A Close-up Look at Insect Photography.” A retired middle school science teacher, Liz will present a demonstration of her microscopes and ability to take digital photos. She will describe where she takes her photos, how she gets the bugs to pose properly (not), and show examples of her work.
