HOW TO... PEOPLE FOURISSUESPLAYMEDIALUST NEWSMAKERS TODAY: MEDIALUST Fresh off the Truck tanding at the crosswalk amidst the organized chaos of moving boxes and mini fridges, I watched as incoming freshmen unloaded their personal belongings out of minivans and SUVs and carried them S into rooms comparable in size to the vehicles in which they had just arrived. University President Dave Frohnmayer lingered near the crosswalk as well, looking for someone he could lend a hand to. A shaggy-haired student in a baseball hat walked up the sidewalk carrying a pair of large boxes, and Frohnmayer introduced himself, took one of the boxes off of his hands and followed the student to his residence hall room. I took a picture of the two walking toward the Hamilton complex together, but not wanting to interfere, I failed to get the student’s name. As a new photographer on one of my first assignments, I was having trouble getting over the awkward feeling of invading people’s privacy and asking for their names so that their photo could be used in the paper. Because Frohnmayer and the student had disappeared inside the Hamilton Complex before I could get the student’s name, the photo would be unusable. I began looking for someone else to photograph, when out of the corner of my eye I saw the back of the shaggy- haired student’s head as he walked away. Recognizing a second chance, I walked after the student as quickly as I could without breaking into a run that would make me stand out any more than the huge camera hanging around my neck already did. I finally caught up with the student at his car and introduced myself and Online: Watch video of explained why I wanted his name. As he introduced himself as Wesley, a pair of boxes jumped out of his hands and spilled part of his extensive hat collection on move-in day highlights at the ground. After the hats were recovered, I helped him carry a load to www.dailyemerald.com his room. I discovered that once I got over my initial lack of confidence and started a con- versation with him about his Montana hometown, I no longer felt like my camera was invading his privacy and I was able to get much better shots. So I am learning that having confidence and a friendly personality is an indispensable aid in becoming a good photographer.

Five years down the road, how well does the media giant hold up against the competition? market hold In a recent study by consumer studies organization, the NPD Group found the iPod rakes in more than 75 percent of the MP3 player market. So with no company able to dethrone Apple of its top spot, industry analysts wonder how much longer its streak will last. Richard Waters, a writer for the Financial Times wrote last week that Apple obtained an early market advantage in digital music through the popularity of the program iTunes. Next, Walters writes, is the technology lock-in. iTunes can only be used exclusively with the iPod, virtually cornering the market on other music players. Walters writes, “The iPod plus iTunes is a de facto standard; all others fall short.” Which, according to Jeffrey Scoble of the Eugene Mac Store, is somewhat true. He admits there are other alternatives, some cheaper than others. But he says it’s a confusing hodgepodge of music files and incompatible devices. “That’s what makes the combination (iPod and iTunes) so popular: the ease of use. Anyone from a 10-year-old to an 82-year-old can figure it out,” he said. Apple has also solidified its hold with automakers. Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple said in press conference that in 2007, more the 70 percent of vehicles in the U.S. would have iPod compatibility. Paul Casey of Kendall Acura in Eugene notes the iPod connector as a significant selling point. mP3, page 8

I also learned that Kevin Federline, one-time back-up dancer and current husband of Britney Spears, is older than I am. I’m not making that up. He turned 28 in March, and I turn 28 in November. That’s about as similar as we get, if you ig- nore the fact that I’m thinking about K-Fed RIGHT NOW, and he’s probably thinking about K-Fed right now as well. See, his image is different than mine. He has a scruffy beard, colossal diamond earrings, a hat turned sideways with a brim as straight as an ironing board, and an incessant compulsion to tug at his crotch as if he were suddenly afraid a Mickey Mouse Club reunion was about to take place in his extra-baggy jeans. Reading about K-Fed got me thinking about image and how people “perceive” others merely by looking at them and judg- ing them solely by their dorkiness. And by “them” I mean me. I thought about it for a few days, and at first I wasn’t so sure I needed an image makeover. I looked at the fashionable SKETCHERS shoes and Structure jeans that my wife bought me, and the Quiksilver sweater my mother gave me as a back-to-school gift, and I said, “You don’t need to change your image because your image is fine.” Then the lady next to me on the bus said, “Shut up, freak,” and hit me with her book.
