Kind of. I like to quantify a certain threshold of skill and effort before I qualify something as art. For instance, a 4 year old drawing scribbles, I would consider art. There was skill, however minimal involved. It might not be very good, and a photo that you take would certainly be more aesthetically appealing, but one required deliberate craft to create and bring to reality.
I simply find it distasteful to call something created with the click of a button art. Yes it can be beautiful, yes it can capture the highs and lows of humanity. And yes it can be thought provoking, represent artistic intention, years of learning lighting, composition, framing, etc, etc, etc. But at the end, I'd call it a photo, not art.
