Images : Ones I'd like to hang on the wall, images I'm proud of. I don't expect to take any world changing photos, and that's not my intention anyway, I want just want to enjoy the process and the results. I like film for the process, and it makes me less casual.

Great questions!
To produce images that allow me and the people I photograph to touch each other's hearts.
My hope is to be back in Taiwan, where photography was most meaningful for me. I'm not much of a photographer (but I do have fun, to get back to your earlier post) My main interest has been in documenting a milieu and events through candid portraits, with landscape on the side.
To accept limitations.

Images: to do less commercial work, break into fine art in a big way and make my mark.
Gear: I want for nothing more, my new enlarger rocks and my X100S is on the UPS truck out for delivery...;-)

Gear Whore #1
Images: to make a few iconic shots over my lifetime that burn into peoples' memories that they cannot ever forget. Delusionally, as an artist, I want to create a legacy in my work that will provide immortality, yet I know and realized that the art world remains exclusive and is a closed society. Also image quality is very important to me, and I shoot to print big, but I plan on making hand made limited edition "Art Books.".
Gear: I currently have all the gear I'll ever need, all the best for me, and this includes mucho medium format.

my greatest quest is accomplished. 
gear: excellent open sights on my single-shot .30-'06 rifle; lightweight, single-shot shotgun in 20 gauge; a big bunch of .22 ammunition.
oh, wait, wrong gear list.
ok, a compact digital rangefinder-ish camera with fixed compact 50mm equivalent FL, and a sensor at least the equal of the x100 sensor. AF is just fine. must fit in a jacket pocket.

Photographer?
Images - To make something that makes me people stop and think/feel. To make something so good that people will actually spend their hard-earned money to buy a print.
Gear - I have all the gear I need. I just want an assistant to do all of the developing/scanning/dustspotting for me. Too poor to send out my film and haven't found a digital camera I enjoy as much as my old film cameras. I was sorely tempted by the $500 X100 in the classifieds, but I doubt it would improve my photography much.

to take photographs that investigate an idea and make a book that documents that journey, which drives others to action

No big gear needs/wants at the moment.
As for images, I'd like to take very beautiful landscapes, as that is what I like to look at. I like images which show the world without humans, or indeed any traces of humanity. Just nature in it's purest form.

My goal has long been to create images that convey the simple beauty of everyday life. Occasionally I succeed!
As for gear, that will likely always be in flux. Sometimes I'm entirely content with what I have. Sometimes I just have to try something new. Some things stay in the collection and some things are sold or given away. Ultimately they're just things.
