 David R. Kaufman, a telecommunications technology strategist, graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1985 with a BME in mechanical engineering. During his student days at Tech, Kaufman took an industrial design course that required a photo essay as a term project. He decided to photograph hydropower plants and investigated rivers in north Georgia and North Carolina. Kaufman knew he needed to ferret out historical information, talk to people familiar with the creek and personally explore the 131 square miles of watershed drained by Peachtree Creek and its tributaries South Fork, North Fork, Main Branch and Nancy Creek which finally spill into the Chattahoochee River. Kaufman was part of a 1992 expedition to Greenland to recover a group of WWII aircraft. Some of his photographs and journal entries were published in The Lost Squadron, a book about that trip.
