Ordinary life
This group is mostly screen-captures from videos Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold and friends shot of themselves in daily routine.​

You may also want to check out her TED Talk, her memoir, A Mother's Reckoning, or my Vanity Fair piece: "Columbine mother Sue Klebold's first TV interview...")
Rampart Range
This are also screen-captures from the videos Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold's shot of them taking target practice at Rampart Range, in the Rocky Mountains.

Acting Poses: "Hitmen For Hire"
These are from short films Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold created, mostly "Hitmen For Hire." They are acting here—playing characters in a short fictional films. These shots are commonly depicted as Eric and Dylan's normal expressions, which is absurd. But they do illustrate the personae the boys wanted to project, but it's acting.
