Ken:
I responded to Terry's incorrect assertion that design doesn't result in made objects, but if we accept his (incorrect) definition then photographers are not designers because their work definitely, always, makes an object: the photograph. It's what photographers do, they make photographs.
Hence, I believe Terry answered his own question: photographers in Terry's world are not designers.
Based on out past conversations I realize you see design more as a verb than a noun, and as you know and I just have articulated I see it as both verb and noun. Designers have always (in recorded history) been craftspersons plus strategizes. Design does not work on the think system (Professor Harold Hill, the Music Man).
Best...
