TAYLOR BEHL 'PERSON OF INTEREST'--A LOOK INSIDE HIS HEAD

As I noted in a previous blog entry, Fawley wrote the following very early this morning:

I have gone away for a spell, I won't be home for a while(...)

those who know me know the truth, the rest of you can go screw off. C:=

The emoticon, "C:=," is his personal skull symbol, used in a great deal of his writing.

Because obviously, Ben Fawley has a thing for skulls, as you might have already guessed. Here's the link to his gallery page at deviantart.com.

Of the photographs still there, the majority of them are of either artwork done with real animal skulls, or skulls he made himself from a variety of materials -- clay, papier mache. Many other photographs are of young women. A few are his own daughter, but others are obviously women at or around the same age as Taylor Behl, and several of them are overtly seductive, with a leaning toward some kind of "schoolgirl" roleplay implied in the model's costume. At least one of the models for these photos, "Mira," bears to some eyes a resemblance to Taylor Behl.

Fawley also seems to have a thing for fire. His personal Livejournal is titled, Playing With Fire ~ The trash of a crazy x-con. Check out this entry, made in March of this year. There you will find a photo of several older canisters of some sort, one of them with a skull emblem on a tag, and Fawley's comment below the photo,

"...It's gonna burn........nothin ya can do about it, its just gonna happen again and again...."

Then there is this photo he posted at deviantart.com of a huge fire that occurred in Richmond in 2004. Fawley's commentary on the photograph:

I shot as many photos as I could. I got to the fire just as it started and took photos until both of my camera memory card were full. I could not dump the photos and take more as we were not allowed into my apartment as I lived in the path of the "falling fire". The carver area lost over 20 buildings to this fire and there was one death. The local media did not make much of the death or the destruction of the 20 buildings in the Carver area as we are just the poor of this city. The death was not due to the fire but rather the city officials cut the electric to the carver off for about 26 hours. The person who died was on some sort of life support equipment in their home and was found dead some time later. The city cut off the utilities and would not let us into out homes for hours and a lot of people lost everything they owned due to the poor handling of this by the city fire department and the city officials. The fire started around noon on the 26th of March and there were still small fires burning in the Carver area after midnight. The fire trucks left my street around 2:30 am on the 27th of March. Other than Richmond fire department, fire departments from Chesterfield County and Henrico County also responded to this fire. I posted one photo from this fire here in 2004 and was trying to get the local news paper to run the rest. The Richmond news paper told me on the phone while the fire was just starting that they only use in-house photographers so my photos were only used by some insurance adjusters who noticed them in the window of 407 North. ::
