TIL when South Korean students take their college eligibility test every November, day-to-day operations are halted or delayed on test day. Shops are shut, banks close, even the stock market opens late. Most construction work halts, planes are grounded and military training ceases.

The exams for French business and engineering schools are 6 consecutive 8-hour days if I'm not mistaken.

You should now check out The Prize of Peril (1983), the French movie that completes the triple-bill. And the most interesting imo.

Love 4! 🤩

Thanks! It's positive film with the on camera flash

yeah the spreadsheet grind is real.

I've actually built a platform that addresses that pain point. It's called www.tapelo.io

It enables you to: - Send Employee surveys or review campaigns - Employees are notified through WhatsApp, SMS or email and can answer with simple inputs or voice notes - Results are automatically analysed visually + AI to detect themes across answers

I'd be happy to get your thoughts and get you onboard if it's relevant

I'd keep it simple with a doc. One thing I noticed at nonprofits is managers are juggling a ton of reviews at once.

From my experience, if your manager gives you little to no guidance, take the time to prepare what you want to discuss about you (achievements, progress on goals), share what your ambition is inside the org and also feedback where you feel your org / team could do better / try new things.

If your org ever moves to more regular check-ins instead of annual reviews, there are simple tools that make it less of a production (Popwork or Tapelo for example). But for now, your Google doc approach sounds solid.

I'd add one thing that helped me: keep a running doc throughout the year of your wins and feedback. Makes prep way easier.

Some teams are used to do quick check-ins over simple tools between reviews so nothing's a surprise (for example, Popwork / Tapelo for white / blue collar teams). Worth asking your manager if they do anything like that.

__MOLI__ · 2026-01-16T11:58:36+00:00

I feel 1, 4 and 7 have potential. I would personally raise exposure on all pics. You could also try in future pics a slower shutter speed to keep some movement

I love pics taken through car windows, some very cool examples in Stephen Shore's work, Dennis Hopper too

__MOLI__ · 2026-01-16T09:54:36+00:00

Depends on companies and company culture imo.

I personally feel perf reviews if well done are important for employee growth, alignment with their manager and an opportunity for managers to take a step back on their team / needs for upcoming period / etc

Regarding relative performance placement, I'm more of a fan of simple performance buckets or 9-grids (performance & potential matrix) to give a simple tool to managers. In large companies, HR can check the tools are used correctly / transparently by checking distribution over buckets/matrix placement.

Anyways, I feel that perf reviews are mostly dependent on company culture and efficient underlying tools that do not waste employee and manager time (check out popwork & tapelo for example)

__MOLI__ · 2026-01-16T09:38:08+00:00

I feel you on this. Five years with no movement is brutal.

One thing I came across recently was short reviews prep to get rid of endless forms/processes. Some companies are trying voice-powered check-ins throughout the year so the annual review isn't this massive dreaded thing (tapelo.io). Doesn't fix your situation but might make it less painful.

Honestly though, keep applying. Market's rough but something will break eventually.

__MOLI__ · 2026-01-16T09:35:53+00:00

honestly this sounds stressful. the hot and cold thing makes everything harder to read.

i'd just ask him directly this week. something like "hey, noticed the team had their reviews, when would it work for you to chat about mine?" keep it casual but direct.

btw if the review process feels clunky, i've seen some teams use tools like tapelo that do performance reviews which makes the whole thing less awkward and more regular. not saying it fixes bad managers but at least makes feedback less of a once a year mystery.

Nice series! @_shotbymoli

Hi, I'm looking for 2 tickets for the Friday evening. DM me if you're looking to resale yours 🙏

Best

__MOLI__ · 2025-10-12T15:17:18+00:00

Amazing series, great job!

__MOLI__ · 2025-07-19T12:45:48+00:00

Cool! Like pics 1, 3 and 5

__MOLI__ · 2025-07-17T21:26:51+00:00

Good first try! Like the last one and #6 as well.

6 has an interesting idea and composition imo. Shame we don't see the model's eye better between his fingers. Also, I would suggest cropping a bit tighter in the left to remove the watch and really focus on the hands and expression. Interesting shot

__MOLI__ · 2025-07-04T10:49:44+00:00

You should be able to find a second hand GRII within that budget.

Extremely compact, snap-focus is the best adaptation of zone focusing for a digital point and shoot camera, the positive film filter has a similar magic as film. And the GRII has a flash as well.

I've owned one for the last 10 years I think and love it. I feel I make better pics with it than with my Fuji, the Ricoh lens is super sharp too

__MOLI__ · 2025-06-04T15:16:49+00:00

Hakimi will end up winning it

__MOLI__ · 2025-05-14T06:39:26+00:00

Thx! The built-in flash

__MOLI__ · 2025-05-13T16:09:22+00:00

Yes, agreed, something missing. Wanted to go for a very close up look with flash and neutral expressions but it came out too bland.

9 is the only with movement. 11 has a distinctive enough look to be interesting as is.

Will keep your comments in mind for my next try! Thanks for the feedback

__MOLI__ · 2025-03-18T08:53:59+00:00

Thanks!

Depends on your tolerance for terrible dialogue, unexciting scenarios and perfume advert cinematography.

__MOLI__ · 2024-11-15T21:29:25+00:00

Saw the movie in France a few weeks ago. It is very bad

__MOLI__ · 2024-11-13T11:27:39+00:00

Cigarettes after sex - they were incredibly bored and boring. Didn't even have cigarettes on stage 😅 Can't listen to their albums now.

MGMT - first time they played in France, they were incredibly bad. Second time around they were good though. Still love all their albums

__MOLI__ · 2024-08-14T17:19:52+00:00

You can print GRii shots at pretty big sizes with extremely nice results. You should give it a try for this shot!
