You don't need to count the *descendants*, childs are enough.

<xsl:apply-templates 
select="/album/photos/photo/*[count(child::node())=0]"/>

You don't need to *count* the childs, simply testing if there is any is 
enough (child axis is implicit, you can remove 'child::', if you want):

<xsl:apply-templates select="/album/photos/photo/*[not(node())]"/>

!='' is implicit, you can remove it if you want.

<xsl:template match="photo/*[normalize-space(text())]">
