It should be "Pic of Sofia and me..." Each has to be able to stand alone. For example, "Pic of me," not "Pic of I."

Anyone who says "Pic of Sofia and I..." needs grammar lessons.

but the caption didn't necessarily need to be "pic of..."
couldn't it be a description of what they are doing? "sofia and i are in this pic"; "sofia and i are hugging".

in any case, digression ftw

HAHA. Self-pwned by trying to pwn someone else. Goodjob.

"sofia and i" is wrong because if you remove "sofia and," it still needs to make sense. you don't put up a picture and say "i". you say "me".

that's why i cringe everytime someone says something stupid like, "james went to the store with tony and i."

nope. if the op dropped himself, it should make sense ("sofia"). on the same token, if the op dropped sofia, it should, also, make sense ("me").

why do you think the title of the book/movie about ben franklin is 'ben and me'?

"jessica and i went to the store" = correct
"then, he shot a gun at jose and i. so, we booked it!" = incorrect
"this is where cupid struck allison and me" = correct
"take a picture of sam and i!" = incorrect
"dave and me went to the store yesterday" = incorrect

You and Sofia look like a couple, not just some friends for a casual pic. I smell a relationship storm on the horizon.

Yeah she saw it already and made a concerned face. I was questioned a few hours later.

If it comes down to choosing between the two, my vote goes to Sofia :D

And? :) "No baby! I swear nothing happened! Aww, please don't leave baby!" Sofia and your girl are both good looking. Tough choice, if it comes down to it.

Actually it's ambiguous in this case.

I mean you could think of it as "This is a picture of Sofia and me"--using 'Sofia and I' in that sentence would be incorrect since "I" cannot serve as the object of a preposition.

Alternatively, you could think of it as being some non-descript noun-phrase, in which case it should probably take the nominative case, and then "Sofia and I" would be correct.

I'd argue that both are legal here.

Moreover, it's a fvcking internet forum. Who gives a sh1t.
