A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I am looking for structured assignments which will help me improve my photography. I'm an experienced enthusiast - over 20 years of shooting - but I feel a bit stale recently like I've not learned anything new or looked at anything differently. Is there any assignment you have done which you felt moved the dial for you?
