paloma.cl says:
"No recuerdo exactamente cuándo descubrí el trabajo de Michael, pero sin duda tuvo que ver con su relación con Chile.
Desde un comienzo me encontré con un excelente trabajo, donde se conjugan un buen manejo de la técnica, la luz, la oportunidad.
Todo esto nos presenta una propuesta estética muy fresca que emociona, va más allá de la pantalla y nos lleva a los momento que este fotógrafo detiene, para regalárnoslos con la magia de su lente."3rd March, 2009

Cristian Kern says:
"Michael tiene una forma especial de ver las cosas, logra hacer que las imagenes que saca, sean mas que simples fotografias, casi como portales o ventanas a lo que sucedio en ese instante, en ese lugar y continua a traves de la foto. Considero a Michael un excelente fotografo, y espero algun dia hagamos algun trabajo conjunto."

"Cuando conocí una mañana a una persona que se acercó donde me encontraba, una playa del este uruguayo, lugar con una vista espectacular del mar, de Punta del Este, e inmediatamente los buenos días, y algo común, tengo una cámara igual a la tuya. Cada uno por su lado buscando un ángulo diferente, coincidencias en el arte y el misterio de la fotografía, intercambio de mails, de flickrs, y la invitación para formar el grupo Astuimagen, que un día nació para compartir imágines. Michael tuvo la deferencia de compartir con todos nosotros sus viajes, sus inquietudes, sus vivencias. Hay en él una gran persona, un muy buen fotográfo, y muy buen amigo que un día nos podemos encontrar nuevamente, vaya uno a saber en que puntito del mundo será. Mis felicitaciones Michael, y nuevamente muchas gracias, un abrazo. Héctor."

Randy's Dailies (taking some time to regroup...sta says:
"The work found here is varied and inspiring, from breathtaking desert vistas, to arresting photojournalism. "Vonbergen.net" refuses to look away, whether he is on a humanitarian mission in a war-torn country, documenting the effects of global warming, or covering a non-violent protest that erupts into a chaotic scene of police violence.
As a contact, he is also a good flickr citizen and will often comment on photos in your stream."2nd March, 2009
