I agree with this, and that is one reason I find myself doing most vertical shots cropped to something like 8x10. 4x6 verticals look goofy to me. As someone else said, we see (in real life) horizontally, and for those of us who shoot wide most of the time, horizontal story-telling shots just make more sense to our brains, IMO.
I actually stopped using the grips on my cameras (I only have one gripped body now) because they made shooting verticals too comfortable and resulted in way more verticals than i wanted.
I'm going to have to look at my ratios when I get home, but I tend to shoot quite a few verticals. I would guess 30% or so. I ypically shoot verticals with the intent of matching it to another vertical, either for the blog or the album (or both). It's rare that I'll shoot a standalone vertical shot, unless I'm shooting still life, landscapes, etc.

I think diagonal is way underrated. Who's going to be the first to do an entire album of tilted photos?
Unfortunately my friends photographer beat you to it. I'm 100% serious almost every picture is tilted to the same amount... it's like he had one leg 2 feet shorter than the other. All bad.
