In the class picture, to me it looks like Dylan is holding Robyn's arm up trying to get her to act like she was pointing a gun at the camera.
These pictures are weird to me. In the first picture (the serious one) Eric is wearing black jeans. In the 2nd picture Brooks is leaning his arm on what looks to be Eric's legs. It can't be though because Eric had black pants on and the legs Brooks is leaning on are wearing blue jeans. I've seen people say that it was Dylan's legs that Brooks was leaning on. He'd have some pretty long legs if it is really Dylan Brooks is leaning on. And then someone (I think Robyn) has her foot up on Zach's lap.
Did anyone ever figure that out? Whose damn legs these are?
They do look like Eric's legs at first glance, but they have to be Dylan's, if only because of the angle they're coming from. Eric would have some extremely weird legs otherwise! I guess it tricks you because Eric is leaning over Dylan's legs a little. You can also see the black of Eric's jeans between Brooks and Dylan's legs, although that could just be a shadow. Plus, yeah, Dylan did have really long legs, haha.. perhaps the angle just emphasises this?

Gosh those have to be Dylan's legs..... they are not Eric's Zach's or Robyn's. But man that means his thighs were super long.

After the serious photo was taken, their is movement from the original location.

Maybe those are Dylan's legs but doesn't it look like Eric is wearing a collared black shirt instead of a t-shirt in the second photo?

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I see that, but I think it's just his t-shirt coming up around his shoulders because of the position he's in. We can clearly see from the other pic that he's wearing some kind of white shirt underneath (like he does in the Eric in Columbine video), so that accounts for the bit of white we see underneath. Also, look at the size of his t-shirt in the "serious" pic, it's huge on him, so it's clear to me that his shirt has just ruched up around his shoulders and neck.

It does kinda look like a black shirt with a collar in the 2nd photo but I agree with what you're saying. I think it's just the position of the shirt and a bit of his undershirt showing that made it look like that. A lot of guys do that (wear 2 t shirts).
But those legs bother me, lol. They look way too long to be Dylan's. They're not Eric's cuz he has black pants on. They're not Robyn's cuz she has her leg up on Zach. They're not Brooks' or Zach's because they are on the bleacher below. So they've gotta be Dylan's.
We did this exact same thing at my high school. Took a serious photo and then 2 minutes later took a silly photo. So there would have been a minute or so for them to talk about what they wanted to do in the photo. So I believe when Brooks said he didn't know they were gonna do it beforehand.
And besides, they take you out of class to do this photo. You don't know who you're gonna sit with until you actually get there.
For example, when I was in high school, if they decided to pull us out of 4th period to take this picture I would have sat with different friends than if they were to pull us out of 7th period. They only bring 1 or 2 classes at a time. They don't just tell 450 students to show up at the gymnasium all at once. Dylan and Eric were all the way up at the top in the left hand corner. They were probably one of the first classes brought in. Anyway, my point is, that they probably did not know beforehand which period they'd be taking them down there and who they'd be sitting with. So surprisingly, I believe Brooks when he says it wasn't planned.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Ahh, did Brooks say that in his book? Thanks for the info! So that means they quickly decided on the gun gestures/death glares right then and there?

Pretty amazing pics. I've been looking for these for a LONG time. Seeing Lauren Townsend, Valeen Schnurr and Lisa Kreutz all that close to each other is pretty sad. Where's Patrick Ireland? Sarah Slater? "Harriet"? Thanks for posting. Even MORE goofy blonde highlight hair from the late 90s!!! God, look at all of it!

I don't know what Brooks said in his book. I don't like him, I know he lies so I'm not gonna read his book cuz God only knows what would be the truth and what he's lying about.

Brooks mentions it in his book. He says that, Eric and Dylan said they should point finger guns at the camera it would be funny, I'm paraphrasing. He said it was spur of the moment and that the group figured, why not.
Brooks says it was Eric that suggested it... I don't know...
From No Easy Answers:
THE COLUMBINE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1999 HAD ITS PICTURE TAKEN on the bleachers of the gymnasium, with close to four hundred kids packed together like one big, happy family. Up in the far left-hand corner of that picture were Eric, Dylan, and me. Zach Heckler and Robyn Anderson were up there with us. We learned we would be doing two different poses: an “ official” or serious class photo and a silly one.
Since he was offering us the chance to do a “ silly” picture, the photographer figured we wouldn't do anything to screw up the serious one. We were instructed to hold still for the extended exposure of the picture, so all of us gave our best “ serious looks” to the camera.
When it came time for the “ silly shot,” Eric donned his KMFDM hat, and he and Dylan both put on shades. Eric suggested that, since we were having a camera pointed at us, it would be cool to point imaginary guns back. So the five of us pantomimed doing exactly that.
It seemed like a funny thing to do. I never thought twice about it. People always ask about warning signs Eric and Dylan might have shown

I'm not totally convinced by these and I'm not sure if they were in the same year, but could this be Richard Castaldo? [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Just the redundant post sorry, I didn't see an option to delete it...does it time-out after a certain while? Oh, and glad to have found these forums where writing more than about ten words about columbine per-post is the norm.

As long as no one else has made a post under you, you can still delete it. Once someone else makes a post, all you can do is edit it. And sure, no problem. I will delete it for you. And I'm glad you found us too.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] Is this Evan Todd's brother, Adam? The picture on the right is Evan Todd in 2013. I thought the resemblance was uncanny.

I feel like Brooks and Dylan are all doing the gun hands correctly. It doesn’t look like they’re pointing their fingers, it looks like they’re just pointing their first which is how you mime a gun. Kind of proud of them for doing it correctly. Or are they pointing their fingers and my computer screen is blurry?

Huh, isn't that quite weird? I mean.. if they told Brooks to just do the gun gesture it feels like he would've done the one with the finger.
I know Brooks has mentioned them presenting the idea but has Zach said anything about it?
I need to re-read Zack’s 11 K interview. He’s always been a bit of an odd character to me. Not that Zach is odd but I feel like he knows more than he lets on and he also was a bit two faced. It is very different from the way devon acted after. I don’t remember him talking about the group picture
I think Robyn mentioned that she did a gun in the picture but Robyn isn’t doing it. Or is Dylan making Robyn do it with her hands because he has his arm around her. I’m sorry too, for anyone who doesn’t think Robyn had a crush on Dylan look at her darn face.

I guess it tricks you because Eric is leaning over Dylan's legs a little. You can also see the black of Eric's jeans between Brooks and Dylan's legs, although that could just be a shadow. Plus, yeah, Dylan did have really long legs, haha.. perhaps the angle just emphasises this?
