Wilson Tsoi, is a photographer living in the US northwest. Like the rest of us up here in the damp corner of the country, he braves the rain to get out and make images. Unlike the rest of us, he has an excellent eye and an uncanny knack for capturing a decisive moment in his sports images. The excitement and action of Wilson's sports photography is what first caught my eye. But he has also done wonderful travel and scenic photography across the world. He has been published in a various magazines and newspapers and placed highly in a number of photography contests.

"It's very difficult for me to pinpoint a single thing that I enjoy most about photographing sports. One that I can think of right away is the challenge in capturing decisive moments, particularly in team sports. I'm also quite fascinated by the human form in action. When a receiver and a cornerback go after a ball in the end zone, when a midfielder and a defender fight for a header, when a shortstop turns two, when a power forward rises for a dunk, to me, there is much beauty in the human form while these sports are being played. And to forever freeze that very moment in 1/1000 second, in focus, with the right depth-of-field, and compositionally pleasing, somehow it's a very rewarding feeling to me." -Wilson
