  • HCDL-bd-Zemper-in-the-Time-of-Black-and-White_m.jpg

    "Growing Up Howell, what's your story?" was the brain child of Zemp. This is his final interview. For all those "Growing Up Howell" who sat for this man. Baby, grade school, high school, graduation, wedding, engagement, family and confirmation photographs as well as many other occasions. Here is another side of his talent you may enjoy. Thanks to HHS 1968 Gary Finch who interned at the studio and was a lifelong friend. We are indebted to you for capturing this special interview. (HCDL-bd-Zemper-in-the-Time-of-Black-and-White_m.mp4)
