Bill And Sandy Miller With George Halford Discuss Their Journey Into Scuba Instruction And Photography

Loading player...
George Halford sits down with Sandy and Bill Miller to explore their journey from the depths of the ocean to behind the lens. These St. Louis natives met during Bill’s first scuba dive, where Sandy was his instructor—a meeting that sparked both a lifelong partnership and a shared passion for adventure. After two decades as dive instructors, the couple discovered photography, a hobby that began when Bill gifted Sandy a camera after she missed out on a photographers-only boat trip. Eventually, they moved to Cookeville, drawn by its artsy, college-town charm and scenic surroundings. Tune in to hear about their global travels, artistic inspiration, and a special event they have coming up on August 11th!
