((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

MOM-1, PANTS-1...well, I guess we both win
Size: 32, Color: Black
Purchased for my 17 yr old son, about 6'2, 180, medium built. PROS -Black pair is a nice happy medium between faded black and pitch dark. -Roomy around the waist, but not enough for children to sag (no, no, no,) -excellent price for quality of product CONS -might be too comfortable for wearer, resulting in an request for an abnormal amount of additional pairs -consistent compliments for wearer could cause inflated ego or confidence OVERALL I didn't hear any complaints from my son or "can you return this" which is a WIN for me, bc he's usually very picky. it's a whole thing with the length and the thickness, color, all of it. I thought these pants looked really nice, the color was casual enough for friends, and dressy enough for church. I was pleasantly surprised. Not a big fan of belts, but he is not comfortable with sagging (thank goodness), and the fit around the waist provided enough support to stay where they needed to. Pants also did not scrunch up at the bottom, and did not fit like capris. Product title described product to a T (or pants): slim fit stretch comfort casual classic solid- it was all of those in one!

Super long length but quality fabric
Size: 28, Color: Army Green
Fits more like skinny jeans rather than slim fit. It’s a size 28 so my waist fits fine but the length is super long for no reason. I decided to keep it due to the fabric material feeling. I fold the bottom of the pants to make it look for fit. I’m 5’4.

Buying more pairs.
Size: 36, Color: Purple
True to fit and extremely comfy. Even tho the title says mens, it’s designed like a womens when it comes to the pockets. Not deep pockets. If you want a tight fit go a size smaller, if you want a baggy fit go size bigger. Color is how you see it in photos.
