I get the same way. my trick is to follow the advice of geotography, study technical (about your camera or composition) then i get a bit inspired. But, i need a subject (other than my wife and kids).

so then the next step. follow what laepelba says. go out and shoot assignments. looks for a certain subject (trees or doors). then shoot it. make it a week of only shooting that thing or the next 2 times you get to just go out and shoot. it will make you think more in the "i am looking for good shots," then you will start looking at everything like its a picture.

after that the cycle starts all over...
