Magazine covers are still verticals...

Heck the list will do what it will do, I've brought a few people in
over the years but not many stayed, the delivery format and content
doesn't suite most people these days. Let's face it if you want to
discuss gear there are plenty of other places to go that offer far
more depth and if you want as many people as possible to see your work
or pats on the back or robust critiques then again this list is
probably not the place to be.
To me it's mainly a bunch or people who many I've known in the virtual
world for quite a long time now and it's interesting to have watched
their work, focus and lives change over the decades! The pub analogy
is often trotted out and really it's probably best fit for this place,
more like the village local in fact.
Re Darren's comment below I'm primarily a vertical shooter, it suits
me and it suits my subjects the vast majority of times, I often get
close in on a subject and I have to make use of negative space far too
much when I shoot horizontally though it does work sometimes. I refuse
to let digital media delivery systems dictate what I do and what will
work perfectly well in print so I'm glad that Ricoh are looking after
the vertical shooters :)
I wish I had more time to check out and comment on other peoples work
here but currently I don't, hopefully things will change a bit next
year and I'll have more time free to indulge in such pleasures.

The vertical sensor is also a little meaningless (and hardly qualifies
as "innovation", in my book). I like vertical shots and probably take
more than the average person, but there is no question that we live in
a horizontal/landscape world, especially when it comes to image
presentation on the web. Your monitor is horizontal. The layout of
most online photogalleries will thus show a horizontally composed
image at a larger size than a vertically composed one, which must be
scaled down to fit within the vertical dimension of your monitor. We
saw this same problem with the PDML annual (at least a couple of years
ago, the last time I looked) when a horizontal page layout was used,
making the vertical compositions look far less impressive than the
horizontally composed ones.
