I went to the Manchester Art gallery and saw these in the photography room, really cool idea. Not just haveing a shot of an out of focus subject; Hartley also places a piece of etched glass over the frame. This mean you have to stand back to get any idea of the subject, whereas if you go closer it just dissolves into tones. Again it leaves the viewer with alot to imagine and send the mind wandering, this last image I thought was a radiator or file cabinet but is actually a tower block.
