This word was coined by a group of surgeons. A picture is worth more than 1000 words, and this is particularly relevant to demonstrating complex techniques and steps in surgery, where a simple description cannot capture all of the nuances.
Specifically, this word was coined by a group of orthopedic foot and ankle surgeons, who wouldn't mind the word used and spelled as "fotocation" (verb: fotocate, adjective: fotocational) as well.

photovation 

The sudden rush of motivation one feels after viewing pictures (or other media) of something that He/she desires. Often times this motivation is undermined by the fact that it is almost entirely fed by only temporary jealousy rather than the deeper seeded and longer lasting burn of a justified passion. In all cases, however, photovation can be used beneficially as a source of energy by the opportunists among us. Otherwise, it is generally seen as detrimental to ones good mood while also being instrumental for being somewhat productive, despite its short lifespan.
