Whether in his car or on his bike, Elmker is always carrying a camera. It allows him to capture tender, impromptu moments like children playing at the farmers market or a bird gracefully flying over a pond.

 

In January 2018, Werner started editing the footage he took around town into 5-10 minute videos. Every month, Elmker releases another video on YouTube. Not only that, but he also supplies the background piano music on the videos. The music is mainly his own improvised compositions, but often he will improvise on a classical theme or a Beatles song. Thus far, Elmker has produced 26 videos in the 'Planet Fairfield” series.
