Take pictures that are visually appealing to the eye. Things that look cool. Take em from different heights and angles (crouch, lie down on the ground etc). Minimalize the boring shots of your buddy posing for the camera with a beer in hand and instead wait until he is hurling up that beer on the girl next to him. Think of yourself as Spielberg and that you are creating interesting images for an audience.
I agree . . . . use the things a camera can do, like using depth of field to isolate a subject against a background as an example.

Freeze a subject while having the background in motion.

Or have the foreground in motion, with the background stationary, like this picture of an English town passing through the trees, taken from a train.

Have your picture suggest a story . . .

Use lighting to create interest.

And don't be shy about catching people in unusual situations:

And get a digital so you can take thousands, allowing you to discard all but hundreds. . . . .

Just a few things.
