This will sound strange, but leave your camera at home. Go out as if you were going to take pictures and take in your surroundings, see what you notice about your environment or what it is you might be missing. Make a mental record and decide what sort of pictures you want to take. A way of taking more meaningful images is to show a series of them to others. If they can tell what kind of day you had just by looking at your pictures, then you're successfully conveying a story. Thank you for your comment, don't give up.
