I struggle with the same
Interesting ! As I grow older and miserable (hip replacement, hint of a brain stroke, etc...), I am much less adventurous then some years before. Still, I force myself to shoot in my very near surroundings, streets or people or café or whatever detail I can find in my everyday moves to work and back. Sometimes I'm lucky, sometimes I'm deceived.
But sometimes, the light, the detail, the overall mood makes me select a picture that I wouldn't have gone for, before, feeling it was not "worthy" (of what ?) or "good enough" ! Looking again, I see some new " values" I wouldn't have thought of before, thus feeling that maybe I can still be progressing in my vision of things, even in a very mundane environment. Some sort of new simplicity as if I had acquired some Zen training while sleeping
Each time I have that sort of boredom and lack of desire, I just force myself, grab the camera I have and stop daydreaming about the latest top level one or the famed latest super lens, and just get out with what I have handy (meaning the DF and a 50mm or 85mm lens). I grumble all along thinking I should have taken my motorbike and reached a new spot, far away in my very own "terra incognita", that I've already taken two thousand shots in this street, and so on...
But back at the electronic dark room, I can still find some pearls (at least for me), some framing, some lighting that I never tried, thus boosting back the desire...
