PPA & The Needle

On July 26th the PPA (Professional Pickleball Association) rolled into the Pacific Northwest to the heart and birthplace of Pickleball itself- Washington State. Leading up to the Tournament, I was contacted by friend and PPA Media member, Mason Tuttle to discuss the possibility of capturing Professional Players Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters playing a round atop the iconic Space Needle. After a few weeks of tackling permitting and logistics, I, along with the talented PPA team arrived on site to capture the iconic moment. We lifted Inspire 2 off from Seattle Center and ascended up to 650+ft to reveal the two playing a friendly round amongst the Seattle skyline.
