PATRICK BILLER Photographer, “Natural Instincts” (page 42) Before shooting interiors, Patrick worked at botanical gardens in Ontario’s Niagara Region and in Tofino, B.C. Best bargain buy? Designer linen bed sheets from a big-box store — I’ll take my luxury lying down. How would you spend $10,000 to refresh your home? I’m an enthusiastic home cook, so I’d buy a new gas range to please my plant diet.
