Really? Link? How about you got to Flikr, 500px wherever and show me the amount of vertical street phitography. Than show me the comparisons between vert & horz, then can you provide proof that they used a GX8 or a Pen to achieve these vertical shots?

i do not think flikr is very representative of the strret photographer’ market. I prefer to look at photo boooks

Not that I'm advocating Flickr but how many people are still buying actual physical books these days? eBooks sure but real books? Sadly, the reign of books are over just like film. Sure, there will always (hopefully) be people still buying some but most people, specially today's generation will only be reading  digitally. Street photography will also be consumed digitally by today's generation.

First of all , one does not have to buy books to look at some of them

Books sure but real books? Sadly, the reign of books are over just like film.

I do not think the analogy is that accurate for photo books. Sure the sales are decreasing but i would be surprised if it is in the same proportions as film cameras 😀

Well maybe. But what I can tell you is how surprised I am at how much people spend on equipment, changing it every 6 monthes or so, versus on things which can really improve one’s photography( photo books, classes, wirkshops..)

A bit tongue in cheek but...

... At least where I live (Toronto, Canada) book stores are disappearing quite quickly. There just aren't nearly that many locations to buy real books these days. It's quite similar to when places that would develop film started to disappear.

It's now actually inconvenient to go to a physical store to look at books compared to buying a book online or better yet, buying an ebook. Travel times to and from brick and mortar stores are ever increasing.

Oh for sure. Well, okay, I'm not actually surprised but there are certainly many who are following that route to photographic leveling up i.e. getting better and better gear to compensate their lack of their own photographic development.

Still, today's photographers are more likely to consume via digitally than with real media. This includes how they learn to photograph as well.

Showing my age perhaps, but I have a few photography books, including one about studio portrait photographer Yousuf Karsch (Karsh: A Fifty-Year Retrospective ). I would greatly suggest putting on your Xmas wish list books about one of the masters of street photography, Henri Cartier Bresson (Henri Cartier-Bresson : Photographe or its English translation for those French-challenged among you, Henri Cartier-Bresson: Photographer).

Good books for sure but as for me , none of those would be in my top 10 for street photography ( ok maybe the one you mentioned from HCB would be at number 10
