Do not underestimate the power of asking if you can take a picture. Or show the people you take pictures of the picture and even ask if they want a copy mailed for free.
You will meet alot of people and most will be intrested and might even posé a bit.
And _ALWAYS_ respect if people show that they do not want to be photographed. And _always_ respect people that are in an akward position, you would not like to be posted on internet when you accidently peed your pants in the subway.
