Photo captions....

I have always stood my ground in saying that in a photo caption instead of saying something like "Sarah and I", you should caption it with "Me and Sarah" as you never go "This is a picture of I", but "This is a picture of me".... Please say I'm right as it's my biggest pet hate and I am so sick of my friends on Facebook telling me I'm wrong.

If it's your photo, you can label it however you want. If it's a photo to be published in a magazine, the editors will decide how to caption it, and you'll have no choice. Consider this: A caption is an abbreviation, not a full sentence.
