Cuando era una niña, hacía una cámara oscura de una caja de zapatos.

When I was a girl I made a pinhole camera from a shoebox.

For some reason I can't get the link to work this morning: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cámara_oscura. - LaBurra, ENE 22, 2010

caja DE zapatos - 00494d19, ENE 22, 2010

I was afraid that "caja de zapatos" meant "box (full) of shoes" instead of "shoebox". - LaBurra, ENE 22, 2010

is it necessary to say "una niña" in this case, or would simply "niña" be enough - cuando era niña? - Issabela, ENE 22, 2010

Good question! I often struggle with when to use the article. Maybe I'll ask it as a separate question. - LaBurra, ENE 22, 2010

"caja llena de zapatos" = box (full) of shoes; "Cuando era niña" is correct too. - Mokay, ENE 22, 2010
