How has your photography work changed?

From a business standpoint, how I communicate with clients, to the poses I do and don't do.  I also have become pretty good at weeding out the good deals from the 'not so good'.  

You know, the stuff that only experience delivers.   :)

Isn't that the truth!  I had such a tough time with lighting, flash photography was really a sticky point for me.

A lot of the time, I'm much more hesitant and thoughtful before taking a shot. I am one of the few that primarily shoots in film, and let me tell you, it's not cheap. I try to make every frame count if I can.
