About David
David is English. He takes the photographs for Quillcards and is interested in the way the real world translates into two-dimensional images.
He has been photographing using digital cameras for a number of years and uses a variety of techniques in Photoshop™ to produce the final images.
As well as being a photographer, David has worked as a woodturner, teacher, and lawyer.
About Tamara
Tamara is American. She is a writer with degrees in literature, journalism, language teaching and applied linguistics, along with a background in piano and music.
She has worked extensively as an editor (principally in book publishing) and as a teacher in the USA and overseas.
Tamara's sense of color, design, and composition has been central to the layout and design of Quillcards.
This is likewise true for the Quotations and Festive and Seasonal sections of this site. For these themes, Tamara develops and researches ideas for the creation of the ecards, pairing sayings with photographs and then designing and producing the final product with David.
