"Bum" is normally slang for a lazy person who doesn't do productive work. Jeff appears to have profitably dedicated his professional life to documenting the on-the-beach-all-day, party-all-night culture.

The members of this subculture are typically ocean and beach-going people who enjoy spending spare time sitting or relaxing on a beach. As such, the life of a beach bum is usually one of leisure. This holds true if the particular beach bum is a local, a retiree, a vacationer, or just someone who enjoys life by the ocean."
