Who knows which way round the cause and effect is (supplementing income because photog work is dire, or doing photography on the side to supplement something else), but I'd speculate that there's a lot of, for want of a better phrase, semi-pro dabblers skewing the numbers a bit :)

Indeed, and to be fair to the BPC the notes accompanying the survey caution that the income figures shouldn't be treated as accurate. Still... part time or not, I was trying to draw attention to the fact that the pot of gold is perhaps a teeny bit smaller than it might appear from the other end of the rainbow ;)
