I am listing these 2 postcards and would appreciate some help if anybody knows subject matter or topic?. I assume the writing is Spanish & am assuming location to be New York ?(but NY is in info only on postcard 1) .Is Paco Salinas the Photographer or the printer ?

info on reverse of cards
Postcard 1 - ......... Por donde vas ,N.Y. 1987-Paco Salinas ( Imprime: A.G.Novograf,S.A. D.L.)

Postcard 2...............El artista es el otro .. 1987-Paco Salinas ( Imprime: A.G.Novograf,S.A. D.L.)

NOTE as temporary measure I have listed these as :- All categories- Postcards- Topics- Other & unclassified with a scan of reverse

Printer is A. G. Novograf, so Paco Salinas is surely the photographer. What don't you understand about the subject matter? The first is clearly someone playing at a pinball machine, the second someone playing at an electronic arcade game. The topic is "amusement arcade", I'd say.

Hi
Thanks for your help. Would you think the reason for these postcards/photographs might be to show the concentration of the participants? Even then, it seems to be an odd topic for a postcard & a professional photographer!
As a category, I can only come up with Postcards/Topics/Entertainment/Other & Unclassified. I'm sorry I am fairly new to Delcampe, but is that as good as I can get?
Regards Richard
