[Tex/LaTex] Beamer, columns environment and text next to image

Question

I am not able to get the text next to the image. As you can see, it is shifted downward.
p.s. columns width can be changed.

\documentclass[14pt,handout,t]{beamer}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\addtobeamertemplate{frametitle}{\vspace*{2cm}}{\vspace*{1mm}}
\geometry{paperwidth=297mm,paperheight=210mm}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\setbeamersize{text margin left=100pt,text margin right=100pt}
\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{\textbf{Title}}
  \begin{columns}
    \begin{column}{0.3\textwidth}
      \includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{example-image-1x1}
    \end{column}
    \begin{column}{11cm}
      \begin{itemize}
        \item \lipsum[2]
        \item \lipsum[3]
      \end{itemize}
    \end{column}
  \end{columns}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

Answer 1

The reference point of an image is at its bottom.

Add some space in the left column, \vspace{\topsep} is the same as what's added by the itemize environment in the right column. In other cases you can use \vspace{0pt}.

\documentclass[14pt,handout,t]{beamer}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\geometry{paperwidth=297mm,paperheight=210mm}
\setbeamersize{text margin left=100pt,text margin right=100pt}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{\textbf{Title}}

\begin{columns}

\begin{column}{0.3\textwidth}
\vspace{\topsep}

\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{example-image-1x1}%
\end{column}

\begin{column}{0.65\textwidth}
\begin{itemize}
\item \lipsum[2]
\item \lipsum[3]
\end{itemize}
\end{column}

\end{columns}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
