A man dressed in a gorilla suit walks along Princess Anne Street in Fredericksburg on Tuesday. The man, who would not give his name, said he donned the gorilla suit because he lost a bet while playing poker with a group of friends.

“We never play for money,” he said.

He had to wear the suit in downtown for 15 minutes as a result of losing the bet.

Free Lance-Star photojournalists Peter Cihelka, Reza Marvasthi, Suzanne Carr Rossi, and intern Elijah Nouvelage spent time covering the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Chancellorsville with their iPhones and the Hipstamatic photo app. Using the “tintype” setting, the photographers were able to capture the modern re-enactment in a more historically accurate fashion.
