I worked for 2 world renowned photographers that barely know how to use their cameras other then basic exposure and amazing composition. Both are already in history books and Museums and will be regarded as 2 of the best photographers to ever live. I will not say their names. Ansel Adams is not the be all photographer of all time. I would be the words and works of Stieglitz above Adams ANY DAY. I would put mortensen in that same realm. What comes from the camera far from needs to be the final result. It can be but it for sure doesn't need to be.
