Sure you would ;~)
You're a pro.
You've spent a good deal of your life with a particular intention in  
your work.
Now you're seeking to shift that intention.
My suggestion is to make the shift in new work; new seeing; new  
subjects;
and not attempt to shift the intention of those original images  
(except in those cases where the subject truly was (color, punch,  
design).
You have the eye.
If you go out with a camera and the "new" intention.
You'll come back with a card full of color, punch, design, whatever  
you're "actually looking for."

I'd recommend that you not give it too much "thought." ;~)
In my experience "thought" can get in the way of "seeing."
Just walk out into the world "looking" for "punch, color, design,  
composition" it's there for the taking.
and bring it back home with you. ;~)
