There's some really excellent work in there. Some of the portraits are superb. As for this rut you feel you're in, have you read On Being A Photographer, by David Hurn and Bill Jay? If not, go find a copy and read it a few times. There is excellent advice in there about all aspects of the subject, including a very good discussion about shooting photo essays, knowing when you've finished, and how to avoid shooting the same thing over and over. It's out of print and difficult to get hold of, but you may be able to order it through your library or borrow it from a trusting friend. <http://shop.lenswork.com/onbeingaphotographerbydavidhurnmagnumandbilljay.as px> Sadly, Bill Jay died earlier this year. He was one of the leading lights of photographic journalism in Britain, and one of the clearest thinkers on the subject.
