I'm Emily and I discovered the sport of slacklining in January 2009. I immediately became addicted the art of perfecting my balance and couldn't stop daydreaming about walking my first highline. A few months later after successfully walking the Lost Arrow Spire Highline in Yosemite Valley I knew that I had found something really special. I love the way I feel on the line: challenged yet calm, focused, determined. For me slacklining is like a moving meditation; when I am on the line it tests my physical and mental strength in a way that I have never experienced before. Slacklining is the perfect metaphor for life: there are always going to difficulties along the way but we all have it in us to push past them and just keep walking. There is so much potential within the sport and I can't wait for all of the adventures and challenges to come!

My best photos so far! I'm loving my new camera.

Lately I've been spending a lot of time taking photos with my new camera. I finally invested in one for myself (after years of saying I would) and have been having a blast figuring it out and playing with all the features. I really want to get into photographing extreme sports (rock climbing, highlining, and base jumping in particular). But, so far I've been having fun taking pictures of a whole bunch of different things. I thought I would post a few of my favorite shots that I've taken so far. My favorite things to photograph have been people and animals. Enjoy!! :)
