Life is moving at full speed right now. Not just for me, but for everyone around me. It’s like everything—good, bad, exciting, confusing—is happening all at once. And in the midst of it all, I find myself constantly reminding people: take the picture. Record the video.
It doesn’t matter where you are or what you’re doing—if a moment makes you pause, if something about it feels important, capture it. Because one day, when that photo or video resurfaces, it’s going to take you right back. And that’s when you’ll truly understand what it means to freeze time.
I’ve always thought of photos and videos as a kind of time travel—one of the few ways we get to step outside the present and revisit the past.
A single image can pull you into an exact moment, wrapped in its emotions, details, and unspoken stories. And the best part? Everyone who looks at that same image will experience it differently. Their own memories, their own connections, their own stories will unfold in their mind. The longer they sit with it, the longer they pause time.
Video, though—that’s a whole different kind of time capsule. With a video, you don’t just remember the moment; you step back into it. You hear the laughter, the background noise, the way people moved, the things that can’t be captured in a still frame. And depending on how long you allow yourself to watch, you decide how much time you’re willing to borrow from the past. And then, of course, there are the moments when we do both. You ever go looking for a specific photo, only to end up in a full-on nostalgia rabbit hole? Suddenly, you’ve lost track of time, flipping through years of memories, reliving them like they just happened yesterday. That’s the beauty of it—these captured moments don’t just freeze time; they give it back to us.
So, take the picture. Record the video. Don’t overthink it. Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Just capture what matters to you. Because trust me on this—it’ll definitely last longer.
Hope this helps,
