Time can’t be frozen but moments can be captured.

Andy Warhol once said

The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.”

so true are his lines. Every moment becomes a memory and when its the best moment everyone at some point feels wish they could freeze time . We cannot freeze time in real but we can freeze those moments by capturing them in the form of photos and videos and recalling good memories feel refreshed again.
