Great question!

I don't have numbers at my fingertips but my income fluctuates from year to year. And even the better years aren't always great riches.

Photography is a competitive business with more good photographers than there are good assignments. I think of it as as much "a calling" as a business. And if I'm making great photographs on occasion, and making a living, then I'm pleased.
