Developing a style

Like I suppose most people here Ive been taking images for a while.
Initially I was obsessed with photography and traipsed a Nikon and all the gear in a large photo case all around Europe etc but that stopped when work became more intense and when travelling I relied upon a small Sony point and shoot.
But since I retired I realised that the camera was not capturing what I wanted and so I looked around for a system to travel with which had excellent lenses and was light.
In the end I purchased an Olympus OMD EM5 with all the primes and a couple of zooms. Its small enough to take anywhere and shower proofed as well so I started taking some more images - but what I realised was that I had lost my individual style and wasnt taking the images I wanted to.
So my partner and I had planned a trip to china wherein I took ~2500 images and Im slowly going through them to put together a Momento book or two covering the trip. I think Ive finally found the type of image I want to take and record but really the camera and its primes are superb and make the visualisation process easier.
Sorry about the jpeg compressions but reducing them really cuts up the detail and clarity.
Comments welcomed.
