I shouldn’t have been surprised to see this at the Richmond Tumblr office yesterday.

With the second tumblr office located in the south side of the city, it isn’t surprising that there are many creative and unique tumblrs coming from here. These are only 20+ of the hundreds of Richmond based tumblrs that grace my dashboard:

At The Hip

An intimate look inside the lives of a young artistic Richmond couple. These two are always creating and one of my favorite couples to photograph.

Dope on Plastic

Go to any dance party in Richmond, Erik Fox is guaranteed to be there taking photographs. Be on the look out for big things to come from Erik and his blog. Why? Because he’s consistent, willing to travel across the country to photograph major events, understands the importance of clever branding more than anyone out there, and incredibly humble and appreciative.

Trash Chic Virginia

After following his blog, it’s safe to say that Derrick owns the most random things. In his blog he documents that random items (such as vintage chairs and taxidermy animals) that he finds while thrifting across the state.

F*ck Yeah Porch Chill
