((Please scroll down for English version)) Kaum ein Fotograf wagt sich heute in Europa noch 'ohne Anwalt' auf die Straße und fotografiert dort Menschen in bester Straßenfotografen-Tradition - Michael Dressel tut es, immer noch und immer wieder. In seiner Wahlheimat Los Angeles schaut er hin, wo die meisten von uns wegschauen. Seine Kamera ist das offene Visier mit dem er den Menschen auf den Straßen von Los Angeles begegnet, die wissen, dass er sie fotografiert. Jedes Porträt, jede Szene verrät viel über die Schicksale der Menschen und über die Stadt in der sie leben, aber auch immer etwas über den Fotografen selbst, der mit einem schonungslosen und emphatischen Blick die Bewohner seiner Stadt dokumentiert. Im harten Schwarzweiß seiner Bilder spiegeln sich die wahren Realitäten von Los Angeles wider, in der viele davon träumen, es zu schaffen und es eben nur den Wenigsten gelingt ... für viele Menschen in seinen Bildern bleibt es beim Traum. Geboren 1958 in Ost-Berlin, studierte Michael Dressel kurz Bühnenbild an der Kunsthochschule Weissensee und verbrachte, nach ei-nem missglückten Fluchtversuch, zwei prägende Jahre in DDR-Gefängnissen. Nach seiner Ausbürgerung in den Westen lebte er 1985 für kurze Zeit in West-Berlin, bevor es ihn nach Los Angeles verschlug wo er seitdem lebt und als Soundeditor an großen Hollywood-Produktionen arbeitet. Das Hinhören ist seine Profession, das Hinsehen seine Leidenschaft! Seit vielen Jahren ist er in den Straßen von Los Angeles mit seinen Kameras unterwegs, immer auf der Suche nach 'bedeutungsvollen Momenten'. LOS(T) ANGELES zeigt jetzt erstmals eine Auswahl der in den Strassen von Los Angeles festgehaltenen Bilder der Jahre 2014-2020. These days, hardly any photographer dares to take pictures in the streets of Europe in the tradition of classic street photography without consulting with a lawyer. Time and again, however, Michael Dressel still does it. In his adopted home town of Los Angeles he looks at what most of us choose to ignore. Through the lens of his camera he encounters the people in the streets of Los Angeles. They know that they are being photographed. Each portrait and each scene reveals much about their fate and about the city they live in. But the photographs also say something about the photographer himself who documents his city's inhabitants with an unforgiving, yet empathetic gaze. The pictures' harsh black and white tones reflect the true reality of Los Angeles, where most dream of making it big, yet only very few succeed. For most of the people in Dressel's photographs making it big remains an elusive dream. Born in East Berlin in 1958, Michael Dressel briefly studied set design at the art academy Weissensee. He spent two formative years in East German prisons following a failed escape attempt. After leaving East Germany, he briefly lived in West Berlin in 1985 before moving to Los Angeles, where he has been living ever since. There, he works as a sound editor in major Hollywood productions. While it is his profession to listen with an attentive ear, looking carefully is his true passion. For many years, he has been roaming the streets of Los Angeles with his cameras, always on the look out for "significant moments." For the first time, LOS(T) ANGELES shows a selection of photographs taken in the streets of Los Angeles from 2014 to 2020

The Biggest Visible Change I’ve Seen in My Skin in Years
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1), Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
If I could only keep one skincare product, it would honestly be these pads. Even after trying peels, tools, clay masks, exfoliants, and retinol, this is the most noticeable improvement I’ve seen in my skin. I’m in my 50s and have tried a lot of skincare over the years — pore strips, clay masks, exfoliants, retinol, you name it. Very few products have made a noticeable difference in my skin, but these absolutely have. My biggest concern has always been the pores on my nose. They’ve looked enlarged for years and it’s something I’ve been self-conscious about. After using these pads, the difference was surprisingly visible — my pores looked tighter, my skin texture smoother, and my nose looked noticeably clearer. I added a close-up photo because this is where I’ve seen the biggest difference — my pores look visibly tighter and clearer What impressed me most is that I saw improvement right away, but the results actually kept getting better with consistent use. After about a month, my skin looks more refined overall and my nose pores appear much smaller than they used to. I also have sensitive, combination skin, so I’m careful with exfoliating products. These have been very gentle for me. The pads are thin but well saturated (not dripping), and I like using the textured side first to exfoliate, then flipping to the smooth side to finish. There’s no strong fragrance and they haven’t irritated my skin. Another unexpected benefit is how much better my makeup applies now. Foundation sits more smoothly and doesn’t settle into my pores the way it used to. After years of trying different skincare products, this may honestly be the one that has made the most noticeable change in my skin. If enlarged pores on your nose bother you like they did me, this product is absolutely worth trying. This is one of the few products that has genuinely shocked me with how well it works! I’ve been telling everyone I know and I’m not a spokesperson! I’m just impressed and happy to find something that works so well! 🩵

Truly zero pores!
Color: Zero Pore Pads, Size: 70 Count (Pack of 1)
These toner pads are a really convenient way to incorporate gentle exfoliation into a daily routine without adding extra steps. The dual-textured design is great—the textured side helps lightly exfoliate, while the smoother side is nice for refining and prepping the skin. They feel effective without being overly harsh. With consistent use, my skin looks a bit smoother and more refined, especially in areas where pores tend to be more visible. The formula feels active, but still balanced enough for regular use if your skin tolerates exfoliating acids well. I also appreciate how easy they are to use—pre-soaked and mess-free, which makes them ideal for both morning or evening routines. Overall, a well-formulated, easy-to-use option for maintaining smoother, clearer-looking skin with minimal effort.
