That suggests you've maybe grossed ~$150,000 in 12 years. Less (say) 40% 
for overheads and costs (printers, ink, paper, space, energy, computers, 
s/w etc), that leaves $90k - a net average income of ~$7,500/year. For how 
many hours work, and other time spent and direct costs incurred in the 
photography?

Finding a price point at which people will buy but you earn nothing is 
quite easy...
