Note: This is an Official US White House photo from the metadata. The named photographer is an official US White House photographer...and has his own category here. This image was first posted on the Norwegian Foreign Affairs flickr page and failed flickr review. But the camera metadata says its a US White House photo and David Lienemann is a US Government White House photographer. The image is not on the US White House flickr page or the US White House photo web site; however, Lienemann takes official photos where the US VP Biden is attendance and this AFP article makes it clear that both Biden and Obama was at the Norwegian ambassador's residence to sign the condolence book after the July 22, 2011 mass killing at Utøya island in Norway. Perhaps the image was released privately but it would be PD since it was taken by a US White House employee. Regards, --Leoboudv (talk) 07:30, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
