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.

photovation:

photocation

The use of photos or videos for education; education through taking and sharing photos or videos. Verb form: photocate-to take photos or videos for education purposes. Adjective form: photocational-describes something that produces educational value as a photo/video or possessing properties of a photo/video thereof.
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.

She is the photocation queen, where her pictures make it feel like you were there on the trip with her.
Hey, if you're free, can you help us with photocating our dance sequence so those who missed practice can catch up on it later?
The lighting, angle and framing have to be optimized for this picture to be photocational.
