I tried this question before, but got no definite responses.

I don't know how many members that we have within these walls,
but I would like a number/percentage of how many of us derive our total income from photography.

Maybe establish a POLL for folk to respond to - Like,

"How much income per year do you make from Photography?"

- $ 0 (none)
- $ 100 +
- $ 1,000 +
- It's my Livelihood

Total livelyhood, no part time jobs. Not after names or amounts, just a rough percentage.
