The problem with walking up and chit chatting first, is that most people will then stop acting naturally. You should always shoot and then talk. You can also pick a fairly wide focal length, set an ISO and appropriate shutter speed to stop camera shake with a small enough aperture, and simply fire blindly. If the aperture is small enough your depth of field should be sufficient. Of course thats not going to get your tack sharp pin-point focus shots. Personally, I would just shoot normally but quickly before people can notice you are shooting and tense up. If they notice you at all, you can hand them a card or whatever.
i do this but i have also pointed the camera right at people so they know im taking their picture. when they see me I just smile and walk off if i dont want to talk to them.
