Remove header image on image post pages in Wordpress

Wordpress: help me get rid of the header image on image post pages. I'm in the process of learning to edit Wordpress themes and I'm stuck on a particular problem: how get rid of the header image on image post pages. Currently, when a thumbnail for an image is clicked you are then brought to a page with the image at full size. But, because of the large header image, you have to scroll down a bit to see it - clunky. I want to remove the header image on those pages (and only those pages). The URL for the website I am working on is in the About section of my profile if you want to take a peek. I'm using a child theme based on TwentyEleven. I did already post this question to the Wordpress forums a bit ago and have not yet heard back.
Answer:

In header.php find: $header_image = get_header_image(); if ( $header_image ) : and replace it with: $header_image = get_header_image(); if ( $header_image && !is_attachment()) :

I believe you want to create a attachment.php that's a copy of your index.php. Inside this attachment.php file, remove whatever code your header is in. If you still need *parts* of the header on that page, then you may need to do as Memo suggests, and surround your header call with: <?php if (!is_attachment): ?>...header img tag, etc...<?php endif; ?>This obviously depends on how the theme was built. Also, WordPress Forums are less good than the http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/.
