  "a man with a true eye for things that so many others seem to miss. you see beauty everywhere. what you have posted here is only a glimpse of the most amazing and beautiful images that you seem to effortlessly take. i only wish that my images would come out looking that great straight out of the camera. there are so many photos that you have taken that i just absolutely love and could look at over and over again. you have such a feel for and passion about seeing and capturing the things around you. what you capture in photos are moments that bring me right to that time, that place... leaving me awestruck. thank you for teaching me everything i know, i've learned so much just from watching you in action or having your help and you've been an inspiring part of my learning photography. and i also thank you for the tremendous gift that you have given to me and i promise to try to get to someday (hopefully) be almost as good as you! ♥"

  "With his sharp eye and sense for adventure the Norwegian trawls around the world in search of freedom. Mostly to the US of America where he looks to find inspiration. Harald is a brilliant photographer with a deep knowledge and an overwhelming technical insight. He not only impresses me with his kindness but also with his efficiency and openness towards the world. The Norwegian has been a friend and I will certainly look out for other photographic projects he (I'm sure) will pursue in the future. Great knowing you."

  ""If I were to chose ONE photographer to take my picture, I wouldn't think about it twice. I would choose Harald. Through his lens, he has a way to capture the exact expression to show the persons' soul.""

  "i was browsing my faves the other day, one of my earliest was of a butterfly perched on a hand.. harald's. i remember his photostream inspiring me early on in this flickr experiement.
  
  he continues to floor us with his scope of interest and talent.
  
  what's true today as it was in the beginning is what first drew me to his pictures--not his beautiful exterior--but harald's soul, his passion for nature, humanity and simple, clean beauty.
  
  there is a purity to his eye that is unmatched."

  "Harald was one of my first flickr contacts! Since I first came across his photos, I felt like I was visiting a gallery and learning new ways to see the world by looking at his beautiful photos. He has a distinct style and endless creativity. His photos are breathtaking, and he is a beautiful person with such a kind heart! I still look at Harald's photos with the same amazement I did when I first saw them."

  "The Norwegian's work is a rare treat for his photos are, quite simply, brilliant. Self-portraits, nature, street shots, candids, b&w, portraits, action...it doesn't matter what he's shooting, each photo is brilliantly composed, brilliantly executed, brilliant! And truly a must-see."

  "The Norwegian's photostream is a surge of endless surprise; behind each bend is a new view on the world around us. Harald has managed to capture the minute moments in life with a perfect sensitivity of light and color along with wondeful composition. His photos are a pure delight and they give me an exceptional and unique view of how he sees the world."

  "It's a highlight of my day "The Norwegian's posted some new pics!" Honestly, i kid you not. Look through his photostream and try putting him into a category (That Norwegian guy is fantastic at macro shots...he captures colour so well..but have you seen his portraits? ..his animal shots are the best around..he can really capture a mood...) It is impossible to put him into any one category as a photographer, he does all things well!"

  "If it's possible to achieve the most delicate precision of the pictures, the finest colours and feelings, it's definitely The Norwegian who's able to do this! DELICACY accompanies his every picture; his works are of a refined quality and good taste! He paints the inner life, his own, your own, catches emotions; the depth of feelings you can find here can be startling!; all his images seem to be his own autoportraits, and more... the portraits of ourselves, the mirrors for our own feelings and emotions; very strong; he's far from being amateur, a man of an ENORMOUS talent!
  
  FASCINATING, highly SOPHISTICATED pictures, an artist indeed!"
