You should probably set up a UIImage instance variable in your controller class (imageThatWasPicked or the like), then set that instance variable when you get the image from -imagePickerController:didFinishPickingImage:editingInfo:. You could then refer to this instance variable when calling -emailImage:.

As a note, you are leaking imageView, and I have no idea what you are trying to do with view in the image picker delegate method. You could probably get rid of the code allocating and releasing view entirely.
