Absolutely.

I was actually just noticing this yesterday. I was comparing my photos I take now from those I took 2 years ago. Aside from the obvious stuff, like different location, better technical skills, etc, I was trying to figure out what I used to do differently. I was better then than I am now of paying attention to tiny details that make interesting photographs. An unusual looking rock on the dirt. Branches that look different than the surrounding land. Stuff like that. I now have a name to go along with that capability.

One of the biggest ways to see fresh opportunities is to go somewhere you normally don't go, or do something you normally don't do. If you're a landscape photographer, go to a park and photograph random people. If you are a fashion photographer, go photograph plants. Do something you aren't used to. This will get you back into looking for those unusual opportunities, both in your new area, as well as in an older area.

Another good idea is to take someone that you normally don't take when photographing. Kids work really well for this, they'll give you a very unique perspective.
