Casseris says:

"Kurts photostream is like an exercise in Macro Masterclass. Viewing his photos will give you a show of the small world of insects in a new and wonderful light.

He definitely has mastered all aspects of macro and continues to delight the visual senses artistically and technically."

"Kurt always blows my mind completely with his photos, whether it's his absolutely astounding macros or others. He has an eye for composition, color and detail I constantly learn from, and have for years. When he comments on one of my own photos I regard it as coming from a real Master of the art. :-)

Thanks, Kurt, for being my teacher, contact and Flickr friend. Keep up your amazing work, and thank you for sharing it with us! :-)"

Matteo Malagutti says:

"I had a deep look at almost all of Kurt's images, and there I found a completely new way of conceiving Macro Photography.
With his images he brings us in a world that would be completely unknown otherwise and he does that very uncommonly, not just showing colorful tiny realities as their very appearance suggests they should be represented, but revising and interpreting them from what I would call a "human point of view". All of those insects, spiders and flies look like they've got their own character, their own personality, telling a different story in every single image."

"Kurt @ Orionmystery is such an amazing macro photographer. I admire his dedication and tireless effort to improve his photography skills. His photos are awesome even during his pre-MPE days. He has since converted from Nikon to Canon for the legendary macro setup, the MPE-65 and MT24. It shows his dedication and willingness to go the extra mile to move on to the next plateau, alongside the great macro photographers, globally. I hope his macro works get recognized, not only in this region, but globally. He very well deserves it!"
