Hey folks!

First pic: This appears to be a photo of two American flags, folded up into squares, one on top of the other, but with a a series of horizontal red lines (like on the American flag) cutting across the image and obscuring it to some degree. Second pic: A high-contrast photo of a man on a bicycle. It's so high contrast that the man is mostly white and all the negative spaces are black. This is on a blue background.
