Centenary TT in pictures

TT
A fascinating exhibition of photographs capturing the atmosphere of the Centenary TT is set to open.
Sensory Overload, at the Erin Arts Centre in Port Erin, will run from Saturday, September 8, until September 27.
The exhibition is a pictorial record of the TT fortnight, made up of the work of Marianne McCourt and Geoff McCann.
It features stunning pictures showing the racing, special events, fans and much more from the amazing Centenary celebrations.
Geoff explained:
‘The exhibition was conceived in 2006 as a collaborative project to capture the atmosphere of the Centenary TT.’
‘This grew out of a shared passion for the TT festival and all that it includes.’
‘With 2007 being the centenary of the TT it provided us with a fantastic opportunity to capture the sights, sounds and people who make the whole festival what it is, together with the added bonus of events like the Peel Bay Festival and the St John’s TT Re-enactment.’
He added:
‘Thousands of images resulted and approximately 60 have been chosen to form the body of the exhibit.’
All the photographs in the exhibition, which is sponsored by the Isle of Man Bank, are framed limited editions and for sale.
