Lluis,
I want to echo what all have said: you are in a very special class of street 
photographers that few attain. Your abilities are extraordinary and rarely 
seen on this list and elsewhere. It is your calling.
I think many of us have faced the same dilemma as you; I know I have. Geoff 
and Steve and Ted have offered you wonderful advice. If I may add my own I 
would recommend that:
1.  Leave the streets you are used to shooting for awhile. Find another 
place, near or far does not matter. Change your venue and challenge yourself.
2.  Buy a new or shoot with a new lens. Try the nocti again; perhaps a 21, 
maybe a 75. Change will stimulate you and you will have to see differently.
3.  There are many sides to humanity. You capture the beautiful, the lovely, 
the romantic. Try to capture something else: the dark, the conflicting, the 
absurd. 
I hope this helps. Sometimes it does for me.
With the highest regard and respect,
Bob
