Time For Houston National Invitational

The MDAP team is excited to return to the Houston National Invitational for the third year.
"We will have ten photographers available to cover this event in it's entirety", remarked Mr Holeda, the acting shoot director. "This is a special event too for the event director, John Basel, of Basel's Gymnastics", Holeda continued. "This year, the TNT segment is called the Winter Classic, for the elite athletes competing from all over the country."
Eric Aaron created a series of special photo templates for this year's event. "We plan on offering a 16x24 poster for the first time", Eric said. "Additionally, this will be our first year offering 6x9 prints of the portraits we take. With our new dye-sub digital printer, we will be producing these prints in less than 20 seconds on-site."
When the news was released in December that Matrix Digital Arts was again the official photographer, calls starting coming in from previous customers pre-ordering for this year. "We love this event", Michael said with a smile.

2011 Promises To Be A Great Year

2011 is promising to be a great year for Matrix Digital Arts & Photography! With several weddings, senior portrait shoots, award banquets, and many national and international gymnastics events already booked for this year, Team MDAP is excited.

The Tower of Americas photo was taken by one of our photographers, Muhilan, on New Year's Eve. Muhilan joined our staff last September. His uncanny ability to capture not only vistas like this, but his perfect shutter timing for action-sports photos continues to satisfy our most demanding customer's taste for perfection.

18th Annual SPURS Cheer Competition

The team at MDAP is preparing for the final cheer competition of this year, the 18th Annual SPURS Cheer Competition, at the AT&T Center on December 18th.
Competitors will also attend the Spurs game that evening, with the top two competing teams performing during half-time.

NCA Alamo City Spirit Championship

Our team just finished shooting the NCA Alamo City Spirit Championship at Wagner High School in San Antonio. Thousands of images were taken during this great event. The parents loved the sampling of images we placed on our Flat Screen in HD. Nearly 50 cheer squads were captured during their outstanding performance during the competition.
Our team is looking forward to the next Cheer Competition, next Sunday!

Cheer Star Chooses Matrix Digital Arts!

Matrix Digital Arts & Photography is honored to be chosen as the official photographer for Cheer Star Productions of San Antonio.

We will be providing photography coverage for three important upcoming events: Cheering in the Spirit of Giving on November 14th; Cheer Star Texas Cheer & Dance on December 5th; and San Antonio SPURS Cheer Competition on December 18th.

MDAP is in the Cloud

Computer geeks will know exactly what we are talking about! But for those of you not current on today's massive web technology, let's explain. Matrix Digital Arts & Photography has teamed up with Rackspace Hosting of San Antonio. Our website is moving to a cloud web hosting complex. What does this mean for our customers?

"No more down time", says Michael Holeda, Executive Director for MDAP. "We have received far too many phone calls from our clients complaining that either our website was extremely slow, or wasn't even available."

"That's one of the disadvantages of using shared web services", Michael continued. "When your site is hosted on a server with hundreds of other companies across the country, customers experience slow response or complete outages."

The team at Matrix Digital Arts is very excited about this move. In addition to providing extremely fast response to our web pages during peak periods, we also now have another off-site safe archival storage for thousands of images. Plus, MDAP will have the most responsive email and scheduling service available to the business market today.

Bottom line? Better customer service on all fronts!

Transition to the new web hosting facility will take a few days to complete, and will appear seamless to our customer base.
