Slobs were satisfied with little Brownies and shots of tiny people squinting into the sun with Multnomah Falls as a background.

Actually, those aren't slobs. They just want snapshots of family members in front of <something>. I've got a lot of pix like that of me when I was tiny. In the to-be-scanned pile.

A friend took Ansel Adams' course at Yosemite. I've seen some of his pictures. He went in for abstract stuff. Why did he bother? 

Ansel also did a LOT of work in the darkroom, heavy on the hands-on
environment, and the moon picture is just one example of that.
Why bother is control, under the red lights.  Repetition and control.

He did better-than-reality stuff. The friend did different-from reality stuff. And astronomical pictures...

Darkroom work is a lot easier if you have enough space, air conditioning, and a second bathroom :-(

campaign against forest fires, but nobody ever mentions
the boy scouts he kills for their hats.
