I'm still trying to find my visual voice. I love a vintage, grainy, filmlike feel, but I'm just not sure how that fits in with what I see.

Sorry I'm making you sit through my self-sorting process.
I think your work does feel like a collection. It's "you" because you're taking the picture and it's through your eye. I understand why you want to experiment but don't discount the beautiful pictures you've already taken this year. To me, they are Carm :-)
