I think that you have to force yourself to take pictures.  There was a PBS
special on F. Scott Fitzgerald and Hemmingway and their middle years in
Paris.  Hemmingway forced himself to write every day while Fitzgerald
partied the nights away.  Fitzgerald was at the end of his career as a
writer and Hemmingway was just beginning.

Block is a symptom of boredom, been there done that, and possibly
exhaustion.  But if you force yourself to raise the camera and take a
picture then you will start to think through what else could you do, then
pretty soon you are creative again.

Try it, when you are not inspired, take your camera and take the best image
you can.
