That's pretty much the context, just couldn't remember the I/me rule.

Hi,

I disagree with grammargeek.

The personal pronoun 'me' is in the objective case and can be used as na object of the verb or preposition . 'And' is a conjunction and the only correct usage of the personal pronoun after it ('and') is in the subjective case, so that the noun phrase used here, for example as a caption under the photo, must be :

Is the expression in question a phrase or a sentence?

If it is a phrase as it is, a verbless one, then there is no verb there to be followed by the ob
