Thanks Carol. We hope everyone enjoys the fresh new site as well as the new jobs board which is updated with new jobs at least daily!

Yes it appears that is the case, just jobs.
Does this mean that Image requests for submission for potential publication are no longer a feature of FPME ?
I thought part of the idea of FPME was to give photographers an opportunity to submit images, either already in their own Library or to go out and shoot something specific, for possible publication and hopefully get paid for it ;)
Way back, I vaguely recall that several FPME members did have some success with those opportunities.

No, not at all. The jobs board can be anything from fulltime jobs, contract work to freelance projects and image requests. We removed alot of the barriars that were preventing people from posting and using the system in the past to make it easier and more flexible.
The jobs board is a place to find different ways to make money as a photographer.
Well, we can't think of a better word for it's purpose. Weather you are looking for freelance, fulltime, contract, image requests, they can all be considered jobs. It's a pretty regular term for freelance 'job' boards.
But, if you have a suggestion, feel free to let us know.

It was just an observation from me.
Medical Photographer I can relate to being a job but a request from one of the photography magazines for images illustrating graduated filters I do not see as a job, as such.
I suppose if activity in FPME grows in the future it may be worth considering creating categories within "Jobs", but I accept probably not worth doing just yet.

That's a great suggestion which we will definitely consider in the future. Thanks for your feedback.
