Architect1776 Loc: In my mind

Those who make money from photos what percent of income would you say is derived from the following:
Birds in Flight
Birds in general
Wildlife excluding birds
Sports (All types)
Architecture
Macro bugs
Macro flowers
Landscape
Moon/Astro
Weddings
Nudes
Portraits of all other types
Scientific
All other photos

Just wondering what actually has any monetary value and especially enduring value to those besides the photographer alone.

Edit: some people overthink things or do not know. So to help read below:

If you do not shoot a category then ignore it.
Very simple.
If all you do for money is weddings then just say weddings 100%
if two categories then say 20% this and 80% that.
So simple that anyone can do it

Don't forget to have them exclude (not list) the categories that they don't shoot, not indicate zero.

Yes, nobody, not even the most talented polymaths in photography shoot all categories. The proliferation of cameras in everyday life has swamped the world with images, cheapening the value.

And your point here?
This is just to see what people here actually do.

DRM Loc: NC

Landscape: 99%
BIF, birds in general, and wildlife excluding birds, combined: 1%

As one might guess, what I sell is highly indicative of what I shoot.
