((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

excellent pillows i bought two sets!!
Size: Firm Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
I ordered these for my son who has neck issues and has gone through so many pillows trying to find one that he liked. They’re heavy, so i was worried that they might be “too” heavy to be able to sleep on comfortably, so I ordered a second set, one firmer than the other (just in case) and gave him a set for Xmas and he loved the first set so much without even trying the less firm ones.He also needs the cooling factor and these offered that, too. They are filled with pieces of memory foam (tons of it) and each pillow can be modified by removing some of the foam. The covers are beautiful, high quality fabric with a zipper so ts easy to remove or replace the foam pieces. The size is perfect and they keep their shape. I kept the second set i ordered rather than returning them and i love the pillows. I actually modified two by removing some of the foam pieces. I kept the foam pieces in a zippered pillow protector and i can always adjust mine when or if i need to. 1000% love these.

The Perfect Firm Pillow l
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
It is everything it claims to be, cool, comfortable and strong. I got this for my husband first, he loves it and then got one for my son, he uses it to support his knees and has been sleeping much better since then. They both needed a firm pillow that is not super soft, firm but not achy. Finally found the perfect one.

It works! Quality pillow.
Size: Standard (1 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
This does actually provide a cooling effect, and it's very comfortable! The accompanying literature is helpful too. I believe this to be a quality pillow for the price.

Most comfortable pillow I’ve ever slept on
Size: Queen (1 Count), Color: Crescent White(cooling)
This is the most comfortable pillow I have ever slept on. It doesn't mash down like other pillows. Cradles my neck perfectly plus it’s cool. I broke my neck a couple of years ago and this pillow feels very good and comfortable. Definitely recommend to everyone. Ive used it since May and it’s retained its shape.

Smell
Size: Queen (2 Count), Color: Original White (Cooling)
The fact that there are not more comments on the smell of these pillows has me worried about some of yall. Listen, I LOVE the weight, and the firmness, it’s perfect for that. However, these pillows are RANK. They have a very strong mildew-ish smell that lingers. I took the outer cover off and washed it and let the pillow air out for a few days, the smell is still very strong when you press your face against it, which one does because it is in fact designed for that purpose. It smells so bad. It’s nauseating. I can smell it through two pillowcases and blanket that I threw on top of them hoping an extra layer would trap the smell. I’ll bake them in the Texas sun tomorrow and hope that helps, because otherwise these are the perfect pillows for someone who wants to feel like they are hugging a torso but can’t stand the sound/feel of someone else breathing. I don’t know…4 stars, if the smell goes away I’ll come back. Update: many many days later. Either they don’t really smell anymore or I got use to it. They’ve held their firmness and shape well. I like them.
