Howe grew up in the hop fields of Pasco, working and engaging in shadow boxing, to become, by age 19, the so-called "champion Chinese bantamweight of the world." By 1916, it was reported that his mother had become worth almost a million dollars. [http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn88085187/1916-05-08/ed-1/seq-6/]

	A childhood Kodak Brownie camera may have sparked an early interest in photography. The teenaged Howe moved to Oregon after his father's death and briefly considered a career as a boxer before moving to Los Angeles, California. In Los Angeles, Howe took several odd jobs, including work as a commercial photographer's delivery boy and as a busboy at the Beverly Hills Hotel, before becoming interested in movies. Howe eventually took a low-level job at Lasky Studios, which brought him into contact with silent film director Cecil B. DeMille. DeMille gave Howe a job as a clap boy. To earn additional money, Howe took stills during the filming, which he frequently sold to the stars as souvenirs. Howe was a cousin of actress Anna May Wong.
