Courtland Thomas is a curious young journalist whose dream ends with a sunset in Paris, and can be found in Brooklyn or at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. He alternates between photographing campus/city events for Columbia Daily Spectator, and clients for an online dating website. If a camera isn’t in his hands, he is either editing a recent article for 292 Magazine, the lifestyle magazine he co-founded his freshman year, or critiquing a restaurant for Inside New York. An AAJA J-camp alumnus, he joins Voices this summer to continue his education in journalism and hone his reporting skills within multimedia. He expects to learn more than enough to carry him through any internships during his remaining years at Columbia University and into a career in the best city in the world.
