We associate very shallow depth of field with close-ups or in other words, small objects. That why, when the Hologon for the Leica came out I got it to take pictures of architectural models. The Leica with lens could fit into small spaces, and especially along streets at intersections of models, and the great depth of field made the photos look less like models and more 'real'.
