There were a lot of avid Shuttle photographers. When the astronauts landed they'd develop the film and mount them to a cheap matte-off-white cardboard, sign them, and they'd go out to the various centers. When NASA JSC decided to "upgrade" to Discovery Center & boot the public out, they also threw away thousands of these photos. A friend's dad had taken some photos between spacewalks to repair the Hubble (STS-61?); I picked up some of these photos, and I really love them!
