Thanks for the info on the spelling of Jhyim Mhiyles’ name. Since I’ve been following his struggle to remain at his home on Bondi beach, I had always thought that might have been how some Australians spelled Jim. I hope he visits the states someday. I’d bet CNN or NBC would like to interview him. He’d probably would enjoy the California coast, especially Big Sur.

Hey Anthony, you’re quite right about the spelling of his name. He was very particular that the Y had to be the middle letter of each name. I’ve edited the original post with the correct spelling now.

Oh I was hoping you’d taken the photos of this one, it was such a beautiful article. I’ve always wondered what his story was as I jogged past – he has such a sad history. Great story and amazing photos.

Yes! I saw this article when I picked up a copy of TimeOut while I was in Sydney. Picked out all the photos you took and read some of the articles whenever I could.
Nice work, Dan. Though, it says here “Jhyim Mhiyles”?

You’ve caught a good variety of moods and expressions there. He certainly looks like a friendly and interesting bloke. Sounds like an enjoyable couple of hours at work.
