The way I envision a project before I start on it.
2. I'm pretty good at conveying it.  Either in Photography, acrylic, charcoal, or pen.  On occasion it's been conveyed in pencil on the back of a bar napkin just to get it out of my head.
3.Biggest Obstacle: Supplies or Funds to get the image created EXACTLY the way I envision it.

Ok, you really didn't answer question number 1. On question number 3 what supplies and funding would make things good?

How did I not answer question#1?  Have I heard the expression and how do I interpret it.
"1.I've always defined it for myself as the perception of an idea in my mind.  The way I envision a project before I start on it."  That is my interpretation of the term Minds Eye.

To answer your question....."what supplies and funding would make things good"
I never suggested that things were BAD now, only that supplies and funds would help get past the obstacle of making things exactly how I see them in my minds eye.
The supplies and funds would depend on what project I'm working on.  If I could have a Hasselblad H3D and a studio....three levels(2,500 sq ft each) designed to my specifications.......that would be very helpful in getting past my obstacle.

I was not trying to start a fight. I guess I should have assumed that you heard the expression.

I do not believe that actually happened but it did in your mind's eye. Now please stop hijacking and let us get back to the matter at hand.

i'm actually am that stupid sometimes, but when i am i sort of find a way to 'fix' things or adjust, a lot of creativity is knowing that your minds eye isn't going to be represented at all, and that whatever you are goofing around with at the moment might be your medium..

A Henri Cartier-Bresson term and book title though he was more well know for his "decisive moment' term I think.  Intellectual visions. Cold to me. i'd have perfered the Heart's eye since i find the best art to be more emotional based rather than there result of intellectualism.

2) How good or bad are you at conveying your mind's eye in any other medium?

I'll stick to photography as my art medium.

3) What is your biggest obstacle?
In photography it's finding models who understand what i am doing and want to be a part of it over a period of time and without finical rewards. Money screws up art.

Mike,

Thank you for not making fun and being honest. I gained a bit of wisdom from you.

The Minds Eye, as I interpret it, is about our abilities to see things in a less concrete manner. In the physical, concrete world, "It is what it is". While my mind's eye would argue "It ain't what it aint"

2) How good or bad are you at conveying your mind's eye in any other medium?
The mediums may vary, but the laws that bind them are universal. I think I'm a few steps in front of the average person which is why i'm constantly exploring new mediums, but my discoveries often lead to bigger questions.

3) What is your biggest obstacle?
Creating physical representations for abstract thoughts in a simple, elegant package.

Thank you. Not my set of answers but very interesting as a contrast. (I am being very selfish tonight)
