A blue carpet was laid out on the western forecourt of the Sydney Opera House.

The celebrities who walked the carpet included many of the Australian stars in CAUGHT and a touch of Hollywood royalty in the form of Matthew Fox.

Written and directed by, and starring Kick Curry, CAUGHT is a Stan mini series which tells the story of four Australians sent on a mission to retrieve a ‘secret’ file from Beahti-Prinsloo. When they are caught, they reach celebrity status on social media and realise that being caught might just be the best thing that could have happened to them .

As well as Matthew Fox, Curry was able  to receive the participation of Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn who plays Sean Penn in the series.

Curry also had a number of Australian personalities including Karl Stefanovic and Allison Langdon playing versions of themselves.

Like many of these streaming mini series, its success will depend on the size of the viewing audience.

The streaming  mini series has commenced and can be viewed on STAN if you are a subscriber.

My photography began when my father handed me the proverbial brownie box camera as a child. As cameras developed I went through Fujica and Olympus range finders graduating to my first single lens reflex camera, the Minolta SRT101, the latter being the greatest facilitator to my growth as a photographer. Digital photography has only added to this. I was a regular contributor to Camera Craft magazine (Australian Camera ) for over three years. During Australia’s Bicentennial year (1988) I made it a personal project to document the celebrations. This culminated in the creation of a book of my photos which was published in 1989. The book was called CELEBRATING AUSTRALIA and came with an accompanying calendar. My works have appeared in a number of publications including the coffee book entitled MY AUSTRALIA (1989), publisher Robertsbridge Severn. This book had a preface by the then Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke. I was a co-photographer on a book entitled SYDNEY- DISCOVER THE CITY with text written by Robert Treborlang. Major Mitchell Press was the publisher. Also for two years I was the photographer for calendars celebrating Sydney’s multicultural communities. The two calendars were entitled MULTICULTURAL SYDNEY. My work appeared in a group exhibition held at Sydney’s Town Hall pertaining to the diversity of life in South America to raise money for orphanages there. I have over one hundred photos stored in the New South Wales State Library archive. I had a solo exhibition held in 2007 entitled Ben’s Lens at the Sydney Jewish Museum which celebrated the vibrancy of the Sydney Jewish community. Some of these photos are on the Museum’s permanent display. I have exhibited internationally firstly at the Spruill Gallery in Atlanta Georgia, United States, and in an exhibition entitled Kosher and Co at the Jewish Museum in Berlin. Currently I am a regular contributor to J-Wire and this esteemed publication. To celebrate the opening of a permanent Photography Gallery, the State Library of New South Wales selected 400 shots from its archive of over 2,000,000 images to display in the new gallery. An image of mine was plucked out of the multi million photo archive to be part of the inaugural exhibition.
