Python uploading image/file with selenium webdriver

The folowing is a snip of some crowdfire.com HTML code, where im trying to upload a file in the input class =...

<div id="ember1089" class="ember-view">
    <div id="ember1090" class="action__addImage pointer ember-view tooltipstered"> 
         <div data-ember-action="1091">
                <img class="iconImg iconImg--camera" src="/publish/images/icon-camera-b432ac4c5b369d4616baf097b951d9b4.png"/>
                <span>Add an image</span>
         </div>
<input class="js-file-input action__fileInput" type="file" data-ember-action="1092"/>
</div>

Now below is what i have so far. I have created driver instance, the code before logs in the website without a problem and locates all other xpaths

image = driver.find_element_by_xpath('.//*[@id='ember1089']/input')
time.sleep(2)
print 'found element'
image.send_keys('C:UsersBrianDesktopEmpire_fortBotsGetPICturesEmpire.jpg)
print 'uploading'
time.sleep(5)

the following is the error i get, and i really don't understand what is the problem,On the website there is an "add an image" link. if clicked it brings up window's explorer from where the user can select a file and upload it.
