The reason I bothered writing a long comment was because I got the general sense from what you've posted that you were passionate about what you were trying to do, and working it out/improving and not just an asshole. Glad I was right.

See if you can get a copy of this book from your school or local library: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1597111945/ref=s9_simh_gw_g14_i1_r?ie=UTF8&fpl=fresh&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1VBT2F8340N6KEZVM8KK&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop

or any Bruce Davidson book for that matter. I think he manages to capture 70s/80s NYC, which was arguably a far worse place than current Baltimore, in all of it grit/grime/crime/drug use. Try to understand what about his photos works, and what doesn't. What compositionally elevates his subjects of helps you connect with them, then go out shooting with that in mind. To be honest, I think the biggest thing you can do to help yourself is to edit yourself much harder. I think a class where you are getting ripped apart can be good for teaching you to be even harder on your photos than anybody else. This will also make you shoot more because fewer things will make it past your cuts, and shooting more will always make you better (though, for me at least, posting more can sometimes be a negative to me getting better). I think if you can learn to see your photos in the harshest of lights then the good ones that are left will really be great.

The intention of these weekly posts is to expose people in this subreddit to really well done street photographs by established street photographers. This should help everyone improve as they see what the greats are doing instead of the majority of the terrible street photography one comes across on the internet.

This Photo is by Adelaide based photographer Trent Parke, he's currently the only Australian member of Magnum Photos and is also a member of the iN-PUBLiC collective and the husband of Narelle Autio. He is known for his visual style of carefully using light to create magical or dark moody photos of everyday life. This photo is taken from his series Minutes to Midnight that consists of him travelling around Australia and documenting it at a key point in time when people believed Australia had lost its innocence. The title references the doomsday clock and many of the photos convey a feeling of the world ending.

What Trent Parke has done here is utilise his masterful knowledge of light to transform a scene from being mundane everyday light to something magical and dramatic with the power of light. The old man with the walking stick has become an angel walking amongst the living. You can see Trent Parke in action creating similar shots here. Think about how just using plain sunlight he has been able to create a reaction whether it’s emotion or your mind questioning how the photo is possible.

William Eggleston lived and photographed in Memphis for 50+ years. Take a look at his B&W work, it's extremely good. Try to find a library which has this, it's worth a look.

This Garry Winograd book is fairly new, and it's his post-humus stuff. Incredible archive of his work.
