No, "Me and my camera." was correct. There is an implied "This is..." before it, therefore it is the object of the sentence. "Me" is the objective form, so is correct. "My camera and I" would be used as the subject of a sentence.

It depends.

"a picture of me and camera" is correct, while "a picture of my camera and I" is incorrect.

Rule of thumb for deciding between a subject (I) and an object (me): take the other stuff out (in this case, "my camera"); whichever of "I" or "me" works without the other stuff also works with the other stuff.

The pizza was eaten by Pareesa and me. Pareesa and I ate the pizza.

Classic "Cheers" TV exchange:

Diane -- "Methinks he doth protest too much!"

Woody -- "(smirking) Shouldn't that be 'I thinks' Ms. Chambers?"

Diane -- "Not in your case, Woody."

:smile:

Furthermore, it should be "Me'll ne'er unnerstand anglish."


I too am attempting to get a pic...It will be VERY unoriginal. Mainly it'll give a more updated pic of me, and something I can use for Myspace (I currently only use my photography, which is a little strange, "Hello picture of a coastline" lol)

Please don't substitute Brad Pitt pictures for your own, that's against contest rules.
It appears to be a photoshop of Pitt and DiCaprio.

Which makes it even more against contest rules.

And had you entered your avatar, assuming it wasn't taken by someone else, it too would not have made the cut because it would have been picture of a partying Barrichello (with a moustache). :biggrin:

If you say so... I am much skinnier than Rubinio.

But the main problem is - this picture was taken by someone else.

My autoportret is slowly brewing. 4 phases out of 5 are ready, it is just waiting for the final touch.

Best hurry! Tomorrow the voting starts (possibly quite early as I may not be able to get online later)
